Eighth Grade Language Arts Teacher 

I think when you make the commitment to becoming an educator, you enter on one of life's greatest journeys. You become a maker of futures, a leader of tomorrows, and an inspiration for eternity. Recognizing the power that one lesson or teachable moment can have on a child is the force behind my every day. Find your purpose and master your joy!

Teaching should remain your passion and life’s work. It should reflect your beliefs in education and for the minds in front of you. I view my classroom each year as a blank canvas with an everlasting opportunity to create another masterpiece. The individuality of each work of art is what makes each piece a one of a kind. Believe in yourself and believe in your students, for they are the true masters at work!

Child Study Team Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultant 

I chose education because it provided the ability to help students deepen their love for learning and take that forward with them as a lifelong passion and desire for their education.

As an LDT-C, my worksite responsibilities are to maintain an active role on a multidisciplinary team, make assessments and analysis of students learning characteristics, design instructional strategies, and plan appropriate educational programs for a unique student population. Developing skills such as communication, listening, collaboration, adaptability, empathy, and patience, has allowed me to provide adequate service to my students while supporting my school.
