About Me

I am in my first semester of the English Graduate Program at California State University, Northridge. I recently completed the Teaching Credential Program and have received a Single Subject Teaching Credential in English. With my credential, I am currently a substitute teacher and I plan on teaching English at the high school level. My scholarly interests include adolescent literature, feminist theory, Native American literature, author studies, and poetry.

I am taking English 620JMC because I enjoy studying an author’s background and professional written portfolio. Being able to delve into many pieces of writing by one author sheds a new found light on the author’s work. Readers have an opportunity to learn about the author’s past and present experiences and can apply the author’s background to any text they are reading in order to gain a greater understanding.
