Welcome to my class web site for English 11, and English 9.  For all my students, and their parents, I hope you find the web site useful in providing support information, and resources.

 

The best way to reach me is email-- [email protected]. If I am on campus, I can answer emails within 24 hours. For any students who need extra help, I offer tutoring Monday's after school. Additionally, EHS offers tutoring for all classes, Monday through Thursday If you need help on work, please see one of the college tutors at Homework Club.  They are there in room 226 every day except Friday.  They can help with all subjects.  

 

This will be my 18th year teaching at Elsinore High.  I consider myself lucky to work with teens and support them as they work to find their voice, develop their skills, and build their confidence.  I had a fantastic high school experience, and want to pass on what so many teachers  me. Currently, I am running a meditation session at lunch.  All are invited.   

 

Prior to working as a teacher, I was a staff writer for the Wisconsin State Capitol, copy writer for 2 political candidates, and a director/copy writer for a Milwaukee advertising firm.  When I moved to California, I worked for the California Associations Institute, and started a small construction business for local builders in north county. How did I end up in education?  Well, I started volunteering as a court-appointed special advocate for the North County Juvenile Courts in the early 2000's, and was so rewarded with the work I was doing with children that I didn't want to do anything other than work with teens, and help them get ready for the world!
