What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative educational environment that values innovation and student growth.

I am a passionate and driven educator with over 35 years of diverse teaching, leadership, and coaching experience. My journey in education has been marked by a commitment to curriculum design, language arts instruction, special education, and gifted education. I have a proven track record of inspiring students and contributing to school growth through innovation and collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Language Arts and Gifted Teacher for grades 6-8, where I honed my skills in curriculum development and instructional leadership. My leadership experience includes serving as a Mentor Teacher for 23 years and leading language arts initiatives at both the building and district levels. I am also dedicated to student mentorship and have provided private tutoring and ACT preparation for over 35 years.

In addition to my teaching roles, I have a strong background in coaching, having served as the Head Boys and Girls Track Coach for 23 years and the Head Cross Country Coach for 21 years. My commitment to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment drives my desire to seek new educational opportunities where I can continue to make a positive impact.
