April van Buren is a digital media teacher in Madison, WI. She began her teaching career 20 years ago, teaching literature and journalism at a suburban high school in St. Louis county, Missouri. She was also an adjunct journalism professor at the University of New Mexico, a district librarian, hotel concierge, and the 2012 NM adviser of the year. Although she's smart enough to hold teaching licenses in English, Journalism, Business Ed. and k-12 Library Sciences, she's not smart enough to stay away from hobbies that involve getting hit on skates (roller derby and women's ice hockey).
