About The Teacher

I grew up in St. Petersburg, Fl and joined the U.S. Air Force in 1989. I 
live with my four children, husband and three dogs here in Evans.  We've 
lived in several states.  We moved from Kansas to Georgia in 2004.  I'm a 
graduate of St. Petersburg Junior College, Langston University, Mississippi 
State University and most recently Northwestern State University of 
Louisiana.  I completed an Educational Specialist Degree from NSULA this 
summer. I am highly qualified to teach Early Childhood; Elementary 
Education; Middle Grades Science, Math and Language Arts; and High School 
English.

Lifelong Learner

I am a lifelong learner and enjoy seeking out learning opportunities for 
myself each summer.  I was a Kansas Starbase Instructor during the summer of 
2003; a NOAA Teacher at Sea in 2004; completed a field study of San 
Salavador Island in the Bahamas in 2005; and this summer I was a delegation 
leader with the People to People Program.  We traveled to New Zealand and 
Australia. 

I make it my mission to bring my lifelong learning experiences into my 
classroom.  My personal mission is to inspire my students to want to learn 
more about themselves, the world and the opportunities education can provide 
them.
