Current Writing Projects

MAAT Program at Wheeling Jesuit University

This summer I began working on a Masters in Theology through a distance learning program run by Wheeling Jesuit University and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. As a component if this program, I will be working with high school students who are writing a religion textbook.

Writers' Club

I moderate two student writing clubs, one for junior high students and one for senior high school students. In these clubs we use a workshop model to discuss our writing. Most members are working on novels, short stories, or poetry.

 

Writing Enrichment Program

As part of my project for the WVU Writing Project, I am exploring options for enrichment activities for writing students.

Other Projects

I work with various groups and organizations. I teach in the confirmation program at St. Peter's Church, where I also work with youth ministry and Bible study programs and act as the leader for the Cadette Girl Scout troop. I've been involved with various initiatives for education and advocacy for people with autism, including the Discrete Trial Resource Group of the Autism Society of West Virginia.
