Get to Know Her:

I enjoy teaching English because: I love to share my passion for reading and writing with students, and feel lucky to get to know students on a deeper level by connecting with them through their writing. 

I choose to teach at Rice because: I like to work in an environment where students are held to high standards in both academics and personal development. 

What is your favorite thing about your job? Reading student writing and vibrant class discussion.

If you had an unexpected afternoon off, what would you do with your time? Work in my garden, play soccer, or read!
