Biography

I began my “adult” journey not in academia but in a lawyer’s office. From a fairly young age, I wanted to be Della Street, Perry Mason’s highly efficient, much-depended-upon secretary. (We would now call her his paralegal.) She was, for me, the epitome of professionalism. While certainly not to Della’s degree (but few truly achieve this as she set the bar so high), I accomplished my goal and loved the work. Fast forward many years. I’m living on a military base in Japan with a husband and three young daughters and working part-time. I have a heaping plate, but I make the decision to return to school to achieve a new goal: to become a teacher. While initially my heart was drawn to early childhood education, holding my first literature anthology (yes, I kissed my first canon—is that weird?) sealed the deal for me: my heart was in teaching English! I have always loved to read; I’ve always loved English (even that yucky grammar stuff), so my realization came as a “well, duh.” Flash forward more years. I completed a bachelor’s degree in education with an emphasis in English and history, and then just kept going to complete a master’s degree in English with an emphasis in literature and composition. I’ve been teaching since 2002 and began teaching at North Idaho College in 2009. I have loved every minute! I love creating a fun and supportive environment for my students; I love helping them improve their thinking and writing skills; I love helping them understand the value of education; and I especially love helping students become more confident in themselves as students and human beings.
