I was in 4th grade, during a Social Studies lesson, when I realized and decided that I would one day be a teacher. Several years later I graduated from King's College with a degree in Special and Elementary Education. At the present moment I have 16 years of Special Education teaching experience. My unique position has afforded me the opportunity to teach grades 7-12 in ALL major academic areas in addition to my college experience teaching grades 4-6. Recently, my focus has been on Math and Science but my best quality, by far, is my ability to quickly educate myself in any area and relay that information in a creative manner. I believe that I am a driven and well rounded educator. I'm most proud that 16 years into my career I am every bit as passionate about education as I when I first started. I also coach basketball and spend the rest of my time with my beautiful family.
