I had several years experience in adult education before I began 8 years teaching Language Arts and Literature in grades 8-10. During that time I obtained my Master's Degree and Reading Specialist certification. I have spent the last two years working as a Reading Specialist is grades K-6 working with struggling readers as well as gearing lessons in school-wide test prep. I then accepted a position as a high school Literacy Coach for grades 7-12. I have most recently accepted a position as an elementary school principal. What an exciting way to reach hundreds of students each and every day!
I enjoy student-oriented lessons that are based on inquiry and gear all my lessons on the specific needs and interests of my students I am only a facillitator of student learning.

I am a busy wife mother of three children, ages 15, 11, and 7. Our focus right now is totally on school and their many after school activities. I know exactly how precious every minute in both during the school day and after. I look for ways to help my teachers make every teachable moment count.
