Who is your English teacher?

My first year teaching was at Overton High School.  I have taught at Central High School, Memphis; Wynne High School and Bolton High School.  I received my Masters and Literacy Specialist degree from the University of Memphis.  Over the course of my career, I have taught 9th, 10, 11th grades, all the parts of IB Literature,  AP Language and Composition, Creative Writing and Etymology.  I am Nationally Board Certified, a Reader as well as Consultant for the College Board in AP Language.  If you would like to get a flavor of my teaching style, check out the literature podcast I do with my husband, Garry, How to Love Lit Podcast.  It's on all podcast platforms and teaches the texts we use in our classroom. Everyone is welcome to listen!!!   I am a native of Washington D.C. but graduated from high school in Minas Gerais, Brazil. My daughter Lizzy, a former panther, is a senior at UTK.  Anna, my other daughter resides in Knoxville, Tennessee where she works for Bridges supporting refugees relocating to the US. This my sixth year at Bartlett High School, and I am very excited about being a Panther!!!
