Summary
I have just completed my 10th year of teaching; 3 at the preschool level with time spent weekly in middle school SPED, and 7 as a 2nd and 3rd grade teacher. During this time I also have completed SLED and Tec21 training. I spent one year as the lead teacher in the school taking on the assistant principal role when vacant. In addition one year was spent as 1st grade ELA teacher along with 2nd and 3rd grade teacher. The classroom is filled with thriving students of various backgrounds and family lives. I strive to build compassionate God loving life long learners.
