Hobbies
I love reading and writing all kinds! Not only am I a fan of young adult fiction, which I teach, but I am also a fan of the Game of Thrones series and Lord of the Rings. I'm also a big Walking Dead fan. Overall, working with students I am familiar with what they are interested in. I have never had a problem connecting with students of any grade level.
