Teaching high school English is what I day-dreamed about while I was home raising my children. I'd wanted to be a teacher since I was in second grade. After teaching on the elementary level and taking time off for my family, I earned an M.F.A. and adjuncted until I was hired at Grace in 1996. I love my work.
