TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This upcoming school year will be my 24th year teaching. I love creating curriculum and now I have the opportunity to share my creations.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Yet to be added

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

National Board Certified Teacher Teacher of the Year, Twice

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

My undergrad is in business with an emphasis on marketing. After a few year in sales, I decided to go back to school to get my multiple subject teaching credential and I have never looked back. I have a masters in curriculum and instruction and I recently added a single subject credential in English.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I love helping people to be their keenest. I started a website last year that you can find at http://beyourkeenest.com/ that have over 50 articles on how to optimize. After a year of blogging and helping adults to optimize, I thought it might be fun to share some of the ways I bring this wisdom into my classroom.
