I began teaching in 2002 as an English teacher in a rural South Carolina Title One junior high school and am currently an Associate Professor in English at Tennessee Technological University. Over the past twenty years, I’ve enjoyed teaching every educational level, pre-K to adult, traditional and non-traditional learners, in both brick and mortar and online classrooms. I love teaching, and I love my students.
