I am in love with learning! I went to Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, NC where I studied the literary classics and Rutgers University where I earned an M.A. degree studying 21st century American novels. I think being a teacher is one way I pursue this love because I learn so many things from my 7th grade scholars at Summit Academy Charter School. I am a native New Yorker who has seen the Fordham emblem all around the city and am excited about joining this prestigious university to learn more about teaching. In my spare time...Ha! I am a first year teacher obtaining a dual degree; what spare time?! But in the couple of hours a week when I am not teaching, meeting, lesson planning, or studying I like to write. Currently I can only spare enough time for a diary entry here and there, but I used to write a column for a fashion magazine and freelance for Time Out New York. I cannot wait to pick up the pen again to write for a brand new audience about our education system.
