Welcome to our classroom! Thank you for sharing your student with me. I strongly believe every student can succeed and learn. It just takes patience, dedication and taking them from where they're at to where they can be!
Some things you may want to know about me... I am the proud mom of two boys (ages 19 and 15), three dogs and two cats. Although raised in six National Parks (ranging from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Death Valley), I am fortunate to have lived on all 4 U.S. borders as an adult with my Coast Guard (retired) husband. My experiences of living in U.S. National Parks is told in my book, "In My National Park Backyard." When not teaching, my family and I enjoy traveling.
I hold a Masters Degree in Science Education from Lesley University and a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Southern Utah University. In addition, I am a National Board Certified Teacher and am blessed to be named one of the "Top 5 Finalists" for 2013 Virginia Beach City Public Schools Teacher of the Year. This school year marks my 15th year of teaching.
