"With many years of experience teaching literature, I've learned a thing or two about the transformative power of storytelling. I believe in creating a dynamic classroom where students can engage with texts critically, connect them to their own lives, and develop a lifelong love of reading. My philosophy? Every student has a unique voice, and literature is the perfect platform to let it shine."
