I currently teach Advanced Placement Language and Composition and American Literature at Bellows Free Academy in St. Albans, Vermont.  I am going into my 15th year of teaching.  Following my completion of my MA in Comparative Literature at Dartmouth College, I was hired at Milton Junior/Senior High School in Milton, Vermont to teach exploratory languages to 8th graders.  My Comparative Literature degree provided me with the experiential background in both German and French needed for this job. I discovered that I enjoyed teaching and received my Vermont educators license in English through peer review. After two years teaching 8th grade languages, I moved up to the Milton High School where I taught English for three years. I was then hired at Bellows Free Academy.  While in the Dartmouth Comparative Literature program, I was a teacher's assistant for several classes. This, too, helped me gain teaching experience.  Dartmouth's program was rigorous but rewarding.
