Experience

I taught for 20+ years as a public classroom teacher as well as a reading specialist in Florida. Currently, I teach in a faith based private school in the metro Atlanta area. It is wonderful to share my faith in the classroom. I have taught grades 2nd-5th but my favorite grades are 2nd and 3rd.

Teaching style

I feel that I teach with a mix of the traditional and the new. I love trying out new things! Hands-on projects are always fun! Technology has had a huge impact on my teaching.
