I believe that all students at every level can benefit from creating art. Art is not about perfection it is about creativity and self-expression. It shouldn't be scary. I'd love to help you overcome that fear.
I also love introducing all students to books and helping them find their joy in reading. Whether they are strong readers, ok readers or non-readers there is a book out there for everyone.

This is my 9th year teaching in Durham Public Schools.  It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun!  I'm married with two grown children, one who recently graduated college. I have a dog and three cats.  I have traveled to Australia and China and, since all of my husband's family lives in New York City, I've traveled there many times.  In my spare time I enjoy gardening, reading, traveling, and working puzzles.
