TEACHING EXPERIENCE

As of 2016, I have 22 years in public education. I spent 20 years in a secondary English classroom. I transitioned out of the classroom in 2014-2015 to the position of Instructional Specialist, and in the 2015-2016 school year, I moved to the position of Curriculum Coordinator for my school district. I am currently the coordinator over K-12 Science, Secondary ELA, At-Risk, and Foreign Language. I love my new role of serving teachers, and I absolutely believe that teaching is one of the toughest jobs in the universe!

MY TEACHING STYLE

When I was in the classroom, my teaching style was a large dose of love combined with high standards and expectations for my students.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Teacher of the Year, 1998-1999; Teacher of the Year, 2010-2011; Tarleton State University Instructional Leadership Award, 2011; First Annual "Favorite Teacher" Joe's Italian Restaurant, 2012
