HELLO EVERYONE!
This is my eighth year teaching. I am very excited to start this school year. In May 2008, I earned my
Masters Degree in Reading from Coppin State University and am a certified Reading Specialist. In
April 2007, I received the Phi Delta Kappa teaching award from the Internaltional American University
Chapter for Outstianding Educational Contributions.
For a little background information on myself, I had our first baby in May 2008 on Mother's Day. His
name is Austin Everett and is 3 years old. I graduated from Carroll College in Wisconsin in May 2004.
I graduated Cum Laude and majored in Elementary Education grades 1-6 and minored in Adaptive
Education (special education). I grew up in Wisconsin and lived there for 22 years. When I graduated I
moved to Maryland to begin my teaching career. Currently I live in Glen Burnie with my husband,
Justin.Justin is pursuing his PhD in Statistics at University of Maryland - Baltimore County.
I'm looking forward to a successful year.
