Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been teaching for over ten years. I have taught middle school, but, have spent most of my professional career teaching at the high school level. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a Bachelor of Science in Science Education from Boston University, as well as, a Masters Degree in Public Health. I am a licensed Massachusetts educator who has a passion for teaching and educating new teachers on the ins and outs of the profession. In writing the “The ABC’s of Teaching,” I tried to offer other teachers insight based on my own experiences in the field of education. I included a variety of relevant topics that I thought might be helpful to new and veteran teachers, alike.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The ABC’s of Teaching Teenagers
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I usually have chapters written in my head, in a scattered manner, then I put down a flow of information from those thoughts and finally go back and put it all together before having my husband look it over and finally editing it prior to sharing it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Other teachers have influenced me over specific authors, per se.
What are you working on now?
A sequel that is like a cookbook for science teachers that can be used in an integrated and dynamic fashion to produce daily lessons.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I do not have one specific method, though, Amazon makes publishing and promoting very easy. It is streamlined and that makes it easy to use on many levels.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Take it one day at a time. It will all eventually come together.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
YOU create your own reality. Do not let negative feedback get you down. See the positive in it. Grow from it.
What are you reading now?
The Happiness Hypothesis…I highly recommend it!
What’s next for you as a writer?
A sequel that is dynamic and serves as almost a cookbook for science educators. You can utilize different parts to build daily lessons and routines in the classroom.
