TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been fortunate to have experienced a well-rounded career in education: Middle Level English Teacher for At-Risk Youth College Adjunct Teacher of English Reading Coach Reading Teacher for Grade One Children Midde School ELA Teacher, Grade 9 (presently!) The experience that has influenced me, perhaps the most, is my experience as a mother of four children (3 active boys & 1 beautiful little girl).

MY TEACHING STYLE

I use my expertise, and most of all, my heart to try and meet the needs of all students.
