St. Louis is my home town. My family moved to North Miami Beach
when I was 6 years old. I attended Miami - Dade County Public Schools from
second grade through high school.
I graduated from Florida State University (Go Noles!) with a
Bachelor Degree in Exceptional Student Education. Since I was enrolled in a
special program, I immediately continued my studies receiving a Master's
Degree in Exceptional Student Education as well. The State of Florida
Certifications that I hold are: Varying Exceptionalities, Specific Learning
Disabilities and Emotionally Handicapped.
Being an alumni of Virginia A. Boone Highland Oaks Elementary
(VABHOE), I was more than a little happy to be given my first job by Mrs.
Virginia Boone and have the opportunity to teach where I had so many fond
childhood memories. In my years at VABHOE I have taught a diverse range of
grades, subjects and abilities. Some of my assignments were teaching:
Varying Exceptionalities(VE) K - 6 : Learning Disabled (LD) Gifted K - 6;
Emotionally Handicapped (EH) Gifted K - 6; and VE Inclusion 2nd and 5th
grade. Every year seems to be a new challenge and has always resulted in one
that I have thoroughly enjoyed.
My mission in my classroom is to create a calm, caring atmosphere where
students feel comfortable and safe and where academic excellence is
encouraged. In my lessons I will strive to encompass a recognition of
different learning styles and exhibit an awareness of students’ background
knowledge and skills.
SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
Virginia A. Boone Highland Oaks Elementary School prepares all students,
regardless of background, with academic knowledge and study skills to perform
on or above grade level and are able to compete in our global society.
