I have been in education for over 15 years. For 13 years, I was a special education and general education English and Social Studies teacher for elementary, middle, and high school grades. I then transitioned into instructional coaching, curriculum writing, delivering professional developments, and I even rewrote state curricular standards. All of this stemmed from my M.S. in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. I am now an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina.
