Bio:
English has always been a passion of mine. I love to read, and love to teach students how to read effectively. I am thrilled to be teaching at PCHS, where I can share my love and experience of literature and math with my students. I have been happily married to Keith Turk Jr for three years, and I am usually bossed around by our cat, Bud. I love to read, watch movies, play games, and spend time with my family.
