During my ten years as a middle school English teacher, I loved crafting lessons that helped students unlock meaning in literature. Finding the right question to create a lightbulb moment, the right scaffold to help students make meaning, the right model to unlock new writing abilities, was a thrill for me. This passion led me toward a career in educational publishing, where I can share my love of great curriculum and teaching tools with students and teachers around the globe. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a Masters in Language and Literacy. Curriculum design allows me to use all of my interests, creating phonics and vocabulary lessons and lessons that prompt wonderful discussions of literature.

I am thrilled to be working with Sikana!

In my free time, I enjoy baking homemade challah, reading, and spending time with my husband and toddler.
