I started working at Arlington in 1998 as a Teaching Assistant, and in 2000 began teaching English. I got my B.A. at Vassar College and my M.A.T. at SUNY New Paltz.  I enjoy teaching English very much and look forward to building a dynamic classroom this year with students!  While being able to analyze and interpret is the hallmark of an English classroom, these skills are necessary in all arenas of life, especially in a time when information is so easy to access. It is my hope for students, through books and the study of language, to gain the tools they need to think critically about themselves and the world around them, as well as to express their thoughts.
