Welcome!
My name is Nicole Deerr and I am a Post-Bacc student at UWM, and working towards getting my license to become a High School English Teacher! I already have a degree in Psychology because I was passionate about helping people, but after a few jobs in the social work field, I felt that there was something missing. I always had English on the back burner of my mind, and after working with City Year Milwaukee, where I tutored and mentored high school students in their English classes, I realized I could put the two together! My love of helping youth as well as reading and writing! My guilty pleasure has always been YA Literature, and I am glad that I can take my love of this genre into my future classroom! I also love the creative writing process and loved seeing how creative kids can be! I am also attempting to write my own YA fantasy novel! I hope to not only teach standard English classes, but also help foster and engage students in Creative Writing classes as well! The site below i
