I graduated Magna cum Laude with a bachelor's degree in Education from Toccoa Falls College. I have been a teacher for the past 11 years. Currently, I teach middle/high school in a virtual setting. I am certified by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission to teach English, Middle Grades Language Arts and Social Science, History, Political Science, Elementary Education, Gifted, and Special Education, both general curriculum and adapted curriculum. I am a member of the Georgia Council for the Social Studies, Georgia Council of Teachers of English, National Association for Special Education Teachers, Association of American Educators, and Kappa Delta Pi, International Honor Society in Education. At the high school level, I have taught college prep and on-level classes in a variety of subjects: World Literature, American Literature, Political Science, US History, Writing, Speech, and Drama. At the grades 4-8 level, I have taught English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Remedial Reading as well serving as a special education Science co-teacher. In all of my courses, I enjoy teaching my students strategies and systems for studying, planning, organizing, test-taking, and advocating for oneself. In my time with Varsity, I have tutored students from grade 2 to adult, and I have taught several classes including: Space Club, Special Education Reading Comprehension, and Cooking Healthy Snacks. My experience in writing and implementing IEPs and 504 plans for students with disabilities helps me guide learners of all abilities toward success. My love of museums, history and science centers, zoos, and aquariums inspires me to create unique cross-curricular learning opportunities for my students.
