About Me

"Ms. T, you came out of the womb with a journal and pen, didn't you?" - Student J



I am an English teacher at a public, comprehensive high school in Central Virginia. Before teaching, I attended the University of Virginia, served as an Americorps VISTA in West Virginia, and worked as a tutor with students who were learning English. I grew up all over the South, but mostly in Appalachia (say it right or I'll throw an Apple-at-cha).

Outside of school, I love to read Game of Thrones, play old-time fiddle, and make food with all my wonderful friends. I recently began section hiking the Appalachian Trail and hope to finish the entire 2184 miles by August 2014 (if I can stop breaking my foot every few months).  My fairly awesome Plott hound Atticus will join me for most of the trip.
