Welcome to my blog! This is a whole new world for me. Join me on my journey from former Emmy-award winning television news producer to high school English teacher. As you can probaby tell from my blog, I love literature, especially 19th century British literature. As an undergraduate at the University of Kansas, I spent a semester abroad in the United Kingdom where my love affair with Britain began. In fact, I try to cross the pond every few years to get my British “fix!” In the meantime, you’ll recognize me as the one lost in a good book sipping a hot cup of tea. I am a voracious reader, a globetrotter, and a writer. In my spare time I coach competitive figure skaters and rescue abused animals.
