I believe that all children can learn as long as they have teachers who can reach them. It has been my pleasure to teach for the last 15 years in the public schools and see students’ “light bulbs” go off. There is no greater reward than seeing a child experience success.

I received my Bachelor’s of Science Degree from the University of Dayton in Education with an emphasis in Math and Science. I then received my Master’s of Science Degree in Reading Instruction and Research of Instruction from the same institution. I am a certified teacher in North Carolina.

I have taught eight years in elementary education in various grades and this is my eighth year in middle school teaching math (8th yr), science (2 yrs) and social studies (1 yr).

I have always tutored two days a week for my students. I attend sporting events for our school to help connect with my students. I have organized and attended overnight trips to enrich our students experience of areas in North Carolina.
