I'm a 39 year veteran. I hold degrees in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I have a Masters Degree as a Reading Specialist. I've taught students from birth to 12th grade! My passion is Early Childhood. I'm very experienced in teaching in high poverty schools. I studied under the wonderful Dr. Shirley Raines.

I have created or improved curriculum for several grades insuring all students are engaged in appropriate grade level materials. I've had educators from other districts visit my classroom for professional development to observe my instruction and classroom procedures. My training has included detecting Visual Motor problems in young children and how to correct them through therapy. I have given many professional development seminars. I come from a family of educators. Teaching is in my DNA!
