About

Teaching Statement

I’m committed to honoring the inherent intelligence within each individual student. I work out of a methodology that ensures tolerance, respect and inclusion within classroom conversations and activities. I have a strong anti-racism ethos. I work with a high level of professionalism and ethical collaboration, and am able to balance the needs of my students and needs of the department/school. I am always striving to learn more and be of greater service to my students.

I am currently an adjunct instructor at Ozark Technical College and Southern New Hampshire University. I teach adult generative writing classes via Zoom and I am also taking on a few more private students~email me if interested in the class or private consultation (kmckenna@slovenialit.com)~xo
