Welcome! I am an English teacher at Hortonville High School. This year I am teaching Integrated English 9 and English 9 Honors (integrated with Civics and Geography).
I am a graduate of Hortonville High School. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication from DePaul University and worked many years in marketing. I received my teaching license for English through Concordia University and my Masters in Education from National Louis University. Through my years working in the corporate realm I have gained an appreciation for the skills needed in the workplace. My focus is to help every student become a solid communicator (both orally and with the written word) and leave HHS with the skills needed to succeed both in higher education and the workplace.
I solidly believe that we are all life-long learners. I want my students to learn how to learn, not how to memorize. The world is changing, and we need to learn how to keep up. We can keep up by being strong readers with good communication skills.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. - Ghandi
