PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT:
Because I believe that written text has the power to transform lives, my ultimate goal in the classroom is to expose my students to higher levels of critical thinking and literary analysis. Through close reading, accurate research, relevant discussion, and historical criticism, we will strive to examine literary works as documents of creative expression, social and cultural influence, and contemporary significance.
