About msnev

Teaching is an integral part of my life. I have been teaching English language arts to high school students near Cleveland, Ohio since 2004, earning my master's degree from Kent State University in 2007 and achieving National Board Certification in 2013. I have ventured beyond my own classroom to work with urban youth through the Akron based organization Alchemy, Inc. and have also traveled to Istanbul, Turkey to work with teachers and students on developing constructivist practices. In 2013 I expanded my credentialed teaching areas to include yoga, a practice that has been a constant source of centering and perspective-gaining for me since 1999. Since earning my RYT-200 designation, I have enjoyed working with student athletes and the general public to integrate mindfulness and movement. Both language arts and yoga have enriched my own life immeasurably; thus, I strive to help other people reap the same benefits. I firmly believe that communication skills, emotional intelligence, curiosity, compassion, and physical activity are the keys to a balanced and happy life.
