About Denise

I was born and raised in Connecticut and earned my Bachelor's degree in English from Trinity College. I also completed postgraduate work in adolescent literacy at the University of Southern Maine. I have been a high school English instructor for over 30 years, teaching in Connecticut, Maine, Alabama and South Carolina, and I currently hold South Carolina certification. Specifically, I taught English, Advanced Placement English Literature and Language, Speech and Debate to students in grades 7-12. I have also worked in public library settings and facilitated book clubs as well as utilizing my English language skills as a proofreader and editor for small weekly newspapers. I have one adult son and I enjoy reading and writing, gardening, baking, and being outdoors. One last thing: I actually really do enjoy working with adolescents!
