About meAfter taking a break from educating the world while I was trying to answer the universal questions of "Why am I here?" and "What should I do with my life," I have recently entered into a PhD program and taken a job as a middle school reading specialist.

Interests:
Read, read, read. Try to write something worth saying. Read, read, read. Listen to iTunes library. Try to revise something I wrote into something worth saying. Read, read, read. Study to get into the PhD program I desire. Read, read, read. Plan literacy enticing schemes for 1,400 middle school students. Read, read, read.... (Sometimes, I attempt these things all at once with mixed results)

Educational Background:
B.S. in Elementary Education
M.S. in Reading Education
Teaching Certifications: Media Specialist K-12, Reading K-12, Secondary English 6-12, ESOL K-12, Elementary 1-6
