I’ve taught everyone from snack-loving Kindergartners to coffee-fueled Grad Students—sometimes I think the only difference is the size of their backpacks. I’ve designed everything from finger-paint-friendly lesson plans to county-wide education programs and college courses that (hopefully) kept students awake!

I’ve taught in every format imaginable—live and in-person (where I can see who’s actually paying attention), hybrid (for the best of both worlds… or the worst, depending on Wi-Fi), and fully remote (where I’ve mastered the art of talking to a sea of muted microphones).


Places I’ve had the pleasure (and occasional chaos) of teaching:

  • The University of Florida | Gainesville, FL
  • The College of the Florida Keys | Key West, FL (Virtual Campus)
  • Meigs County Board of Education | Decatur, TN

Courses I’ve taught and developed:

  • Composition I and II
  • Special Topics in Composition
  • Writing for Argument and Persuasion
  • Technical Writing
  • American Literature
  • English Literature
  • Fantasy Literature
  • Children’s Literature
  • Young Adult Literature
  • Southern Literature
  • Writing Tutorial Program and Content Development for K-12 Public Schools (Tennessee)

Modes of teaching:

  • Live (in the classroom)
  • Online (asynchronous via e-Learning, Blackboard, and Canvas)
