Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a teacher. I remember lining up my dolls and stuffed animals and playing classroom. My mom was a Kindergarten teacher. I loved visiting her classroom and helping with her students.
As an undergraduate at Radford University, my love of teaching blossomed while working with preschool students at a local daycare center. I remember thinking a jobs not so bad, I love what I do!
Upon graduating, I took what was supposed to be just a summer job, at a private school in Leesburg. I ended up teaching there for four years. During that time, I only became surer of my calling. One of my student's parents shared with me the incredible need for special education teachers. Her encouragement inspired me to pursue my master's degree in Special Education from George Mason University.
My 18+ year career as an educator has taken me through Prince William and Frederick County Publics Schools. This is my 7th year teaching in Loudoun County Public Schools. I currently teach 3rd and 4th graders at an elementary school in my hometown. I continue to be blessed by what I do.
