2. Academic Background
B.A., Lehman College, 2005-2008
•English Literature
M.S.Ed., Lehman College, 2008-2010
•Middle and High School English Education
3. Experiences at Lehman College showed me that:
•Literature and learning are inseparable
•Literature is not limited to the written word
What I extrapolated from this:
My love for literature need not be limited
by words.
I can view my passions for graphic novels and
movies in an academic light and be completely
scholarly about it, rather than to show myself as
the dork I know myself to be.
4. Professional Background
• Teacher, 2011-2013
– Worked for DOE as middle school teacher
• Primarily taught English, but also taught: Social Studies,
Math, Science and Sex Education.
•Teller, 2007-2010
•Cashed checks and conducted monetary
transactions
•Served as office secretary as needed
5. If you couldn’t tell by the last slide,
I was not happy where I was
professionally. Instead of feeling
miserable, I decided that I needed
a change. I left teaching to pursue
my passion for books.
