I am so excited to be a new member of Laney's English Department. I am
originally from upstate New York, and moved to Wilmington in 2005 to be
closer to my parents. I recently received my Master's Degree in Secondary
English from UNCW (Go Seahawks!). I like teaching more and more every day!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does
not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as
children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's
not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
My mission for our English class is that every day, each student will have
the opportunity to discover the amazing power of language and literacy
through reading, writing, listening, speaking and viewing.
