I received my PhD in English from Emory University in 2010. After working as a professor for a couple years, I transitioned into high school teaching and have been working at The Paideia School since 2013. I've taught courses ranging from creative writing to American Literature through multicultural literature. I also moderate the literary magazine and have guided many students through their college application processes.
