I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Florida A&M University in Psychology. I worked in Social Work and Counseling early in my career; however, I have been teaching for about 20 years. I have taught all grade levels, but have spent most of my career teaching elementary grades 2nd - 4th. I have been certified as a Special Education teacher, and am currently certified in General Education with an add-on certification in ESL (English as a Second Language.) Most of my experience has been in Reading and Language Arts which is what I prefer to teach. I have also worked with children who have learning disabilities, reading difficulties and are overall behind academically. However, my experience has afforded me to work with the gifted and talented and high achievers.
It is my philosophy that all children can learn when we meet them where they are. I look forward to working with my future students and helping them to achieve their goals.
