I'm a retired school teacher with over 30 years of experience and a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University. My passion for helping students comes from witnessing the excitement and enthusiasm they show when they connect with the content I teach. Teaching has never been just a job to me, it's a lifelong commitment to making the world a better place. I've always loved my profession, and every day in the classroom gave me new opportunities to understand my students and help them grow.

Through these years, I've learned that teaching is truly about building relationships and creating an environment where students feel supported and inspired. Even after retirement, I continue to give back by tutoring in math, reading, and literacy, working primarily with Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade students. My approach is simple: "Love what you teach, and they will love it too." For me, teaching has always been about having fun, enjoying the process, and helping students discover a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
