Street Cred: I have been a Lincoln High School teacher since 2002. I have a MA in literature from Mills College, a MA degree in Education from SFSU, a CLAD teaching credential from SFSU and a B.A. in Literature and Women’s Studies from the University of California of Santa Cruz.

Me: I enjoy the creative challenges of teaching and learning. I am enthusiastic about teaching because I love to learn, and I love to learn with and from my students. I hope in my class, you begin to understand how to read and write in a more complex and expressive way. I have no life outside of teaching Wink.
