Summary

A proud "product" of the Bay District School system, having attended Beach Elementary, Surfside Middle School, Bay High School, and Arnold High School as its inaugural graduating class of 2001, I am currently wrapping up my 19th year as a proud and dedicated teacher in Bay County.


My unwavering commitment to the field of education is evident by my continuous effort to seek out professional development and resources, and to work above and beyond the school day. I am eager to find opportunities to learn more about current (and tried and true) research in education, accommodate various learning styles, implement a wide variety of teaching and delivery methods, in all areas of to learning, especially those pertaining E.L.A.


Next year will mark 2 decades of teaching, and I know in my heart that I was meant to be a teacher. I look forward to the years ahead and am eager to continue constantly evolving to be the best teacher and human being I can be.
