This will be my 14th year at Amelia County Middle School, and I have also 
taught in Henrico County and Chesapeake Virginia.  I have taught kindergarten,
5th, 6th and 7th grade. This will be my 3nd year in 8th grade!   

I have 3 boys of my own of whom I am very proud.  My boys attend or attended school in
Powhatan.  (Because that is where we live and they have grown up-I am asked
every year...multiple times!) My boys are active in scouting and my youngest
marches with the high school band.  

We share our house with 4 cats, and 1 dog. 

I was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia.  I attended Old Dominion 
University where I received my Bachelors (BS-IDS) and my Masters (MS-
Education).  I am certified to teach preschool through eighth grade. 

I look forward to a fantastic year!

My mission for our class is for all of us to work together to have a 
successful eighth grade year.  That requires hard work on the part not only 
of me as the teacher, but for the students and parents as well.  I will 
provide a safe, positive and stable learning environment for your child.

Lines of honest communication must be open at all time between home and 
school.  Hard work and independence is required of each student.  Each child 
is responsible for only him or herself.

We all need to do the BEST that we can do and then we should be the BEST 
person we can be!
