Amy joined Suite 101 in 2006 in the New Teacher Support area. She has been teaching high school English for 16 years and knows how hard it is for new teachers to feel confident in the profession. She has taught all levels but enjoys the seniors because they are just about to embark into the world and that is the most fantastic time for them.
Amy has two Bachelors degrees, one in English Composition and one in Mass Communication. Her Master's degree is in English education, and it is only a matter of time before she seeks her PhD.
She earned her National Board Certification for Professional Teaching Standards in 2000 and is certified by the College Board. She also works for the College Board in grading the new SAT essays.
In her spare time, Amy loves to write and spend time with her two children. She loves sports, reading and finding quiet time.
