Hi, my name is Ali Clifton.  I am so excited to be returning to teach English Language Development at Timnath Middle High School for my second year.  I have a BA in International Studies and Spanish with an Asian Studies minor from Coe College.  I also have my M.Ed. in Secondary Education: Social Studies with an ELL endorsement from Vanderbilt University.  When I’m not teaching, I love to travel.  My favorite place to visit is Costa Rica.  In addition to traveling, I love to read almost any kind of book.  I also enjoy playing trumpet and piano, hiking, spending time with friends and family, and acting.  I look forward to a wonderful year!
