It takes two people to contribute to the beauty that is chess. Some of my most intellectually satisfying and artistic games have been losses, yet even in losing, I was able to contribute something meaningful and beautiful.

My Middle School team won 5 consecutive city championships (Rochester, MN). We have also had several fourth place and one first ... read more

English is one of my top subjects!

I am an enthusiastic life-long learner and teacher. I've spent my life reading and loving literature. I want to share that skill and joy with as many people as possible. My time at the University of Minnesota was a formative experience, there I learned the essentials of reading great books and articulating critical thinking through written word.
I am very flexible and patient. I believe as a teacher one should act serve a midwife from the student to the understanding of a skill or concept. I want students to learn through instruction and fully integrate that learning through open dialogue and application.
