DE certification in Art K-12 and Secondary Special Education; highly
qualified in Elementary Education and Language Arts.
I grew up here in the Dover area; attended Caesar Rodney High School before
attending MICA and moving to Baltimore, MD. I have lived all along the East
Coast while my husband was in the Navy then returned to Delaware when he
retired. I have worked as a graphic artist and free-lance artist while my
husband was stationed in VA and later taught Art in Charleston, S.C. and
Waldorf, MD. I taught art as a member of the Dover Art League and as a free
lance artist. I taught high school art and computer art at Cape Henlopen High
School before taking a permanent position in Special Education at Lake Forest
High School.
I am happy and proud to be a member of the staff here at Positive Outcome
Charter School. I hope to nurture an interest and appreciation of art in all
students.
To expose students to artistic concepts and terms so they can better
appreciate art and understand its purpose in society.
Mission objectives:

Remember to ALWAYS
*Be There, Be Ready

A failure in Art class is a failure to TRY.
