Anoka High School Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM)

 

 

 

I have been teaching English at Anoka High School since 1990; I have taught all grades and levels of English! During the 2019-20 school year, I will be teaching English 10, English 12 and College in the Schools (CIS) writing.

 

 I am a St. Paul native and attended Derham Hall High School (now Cretin-Derham Hall). My college alma mater is Carleton College where I graduated with a B.A. in English and earned my master's degree in Liberal Studies at Hamline University. Though I was a serious competitive swimmer from the age of ten through college, I now dabble in completely recreational athletics--gardening, biking, walking, cross-country skiing, and many other outdoor activities. I love to travel and spend time with my family; I could definitely get used to a life of traveling adventures.  

 

My home office hours will be Monday-Friday 9-11 am and 1-3:00 pm with the exception of Tuesday mornings which is reserved for meetings with my teaching colleagues.  Please be assured that we will all get through these unusual circumstances together.  Please encourage your student to reach out to me via email, Google hangout (chat/test feature) or Google meet (video chat feature).  I am available to answer questions or just to chat or check-in with each other.  For most of us, we didn't become teachers just to sit behind a computer, but this is our new reality for now.

 

Be well!
