Background: My first career after college was in advertising, as an Art Director, then a Copywriter, then a Creative Director, in NYC. You can see some of my work at theannlemon.com. After about twenty years of traveling all over the world making ads, I began teaching at my alma mater, the University of Delaware, in 2005, which led me back to get a master's degree, which then led me to teaching freshman composition at RACC and Kutztown, which then led me here. I did my student teaching at Exeter Senior and Junior High Schools in the spring of 2010.
I love books, reading, writing, drawing, traveling, and the great outdoors - and teenagers. I have a wonderful native Berks Countian husband (Dane Burkhart). I'm a Boy Scout leader (Troop 241) and mom of a sixth grader at Governor Mifflin. This is my first year teaching at the high school level, and I really, really like it. |
