                               About Me

Picture
I want to teach.  In fact, there is nothing I’d like to do more than teach at the moment.  I feel like I could spend hours lecturing about how to write persuasively or days discussing the importance of modern American fiction or weeks helping students understand the importance of research.  I would love to do all of these things, but at the moment, I cannot.  Being a young college graduate, and being full of idealism, I assumed I would get a teaching job right out of graduate school.  I did not.  But then I figured something would eventually come across my path because, well, I loved to teach and someone would obviously read that between the lines in my CV and cover letter.  They did not.  So I’m telling you outright that I love to teach.  Welcome, and enjoy.
