Students conduct a simple survey and display the results in a circle graph. To make it more fun, my students liked to use "What is your favorite ________?" as their survey question.

Experience

I have 17 years experience in the middle school mathematics classroom. In 2015, I became a District Interventionist and Gifted and Talented Coordinator. In 2020 and 2021, I was also a Virtual Academy Coordinator. I later added the responsibilities of Mathematics Curriculum Coordinator, Building Assessment Co-Coordinator, and Extended School Services Coordinator. In July of 2024, after 27 years in the school system, I officially retired. Retirement for me is not the end of my teaching journey, but just a chapter closed. I choose now to focus on my next chapter as an educator: providing content that supports student learning and teacher efficacy.

Teaching style

As an educational Coordinator and Interventionist, I wore many hats in my dynamic role. I worked with a diverse student population, each with their unique set of challenges, and I find great satisfaction in helping them overcome adversity. It was not just about being an interventionist; it was about being a source of support and empowerment. I've seen students from all walks of life experience success, and it's a privilege to know that I've played a part in their journey. Whether it's through offering guidance, fostering a welcoming environment, or providing the necessary resources, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact in their lives.

Additional biographical information

I'm a loving wife, a proud mother of a son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law starting their journey together, and a dedicated dog mom. When I'm not working on a project, you'll often find me enjoying quality time out and about with my family or cuddling on the couch with my Ruppie-girl. You may also spot me at a local 5k, mostly walking, but improving my time with every race.
