I am presently in my 23rd year of teaching. I have taught business and computer courses, as well as various computer literacy classes.

I have also taught computers at the elementary level. I love to teach hands-on activities that engage the students in their self-learning.
Teaching style
I believe the old Chinese Proverb “Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” I think students learn best by doing; therefore, kinesthetic activities need to be implemented as much as possible. The more student independent activities that can be incorporated into the curriculum the better.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I am a member of several professional organizations and have attended a number of professional worksheets including NBEA, MBEA, SBEA, and ACTE. I am the 2019 Teacher of year in my school district. I am also a National Board Certified teacher.
My own education history
I am a graduate of The University of Southern Mississippi. I have a Master's Degree in Business Technology Education with a minor in Instructional Technology. I am an NBCT! I have been awarded Teacher of the Year and have served in a variety of other jobs in my school district.
Additional biographical information
I spend a number of hours each week formatting my own ideas on the lessons I teach. Planning and proper implementation are vital in the successful classroom.
