I'm sure there is more, but there's a start on a bit about me.

Hi, I'm Kyle! I'm a #teacher & #poet.

I teach secondary #ELA in #sd36learn.

I did my #MFA in Creative Writing at UBC and have featured widely at readings in the Lower Mainland. I seldom submit work (life/work balance is hard!) but was most recently published in Quarandreams.

I'm past president of the BC Teachers of English Language Arts and previously pres of the Surrey English Teachers' Association and the Royal City Literary Arts Society. I love to connect people and help them grow.
