I am a highly qualified and dedicated educator with over 30 years of experience in Early Childhood and Elementary Education in South Carolina. I bring a proven track record of creating engaging learning environments that cater to diverse student needs, both in-person and virtual classrooms. I motivate and inspire learners to be curious, self-reflective, and take ownership of their actions.

Virtual Experience: I successfully served as a Virtual Teacher, utilizing Google Classroom and Google Meet to provide comprehensive instruction and maintain strong student-parent partnerships. (Parent references are available).

Curriculum Development: Expert at planning and implementing lessons that incorporate technology, higher-order thinking, and inquiry-based skills. Skilled in utilizing data and differentiation to address various learning styles and promote academic rigor.

Collaborative Spirit: Experienced in educating at-risk students and partnering closely with families to build a positive foundation for success.

Communication: Strong record of conferencing with parents and stakeholders to ensure a cohesive learning experience for the student.

Focus on Literacy: Deeply committed to helping students understand the "why" behind their learning through specialized reading endorsements, Master’s level expertise, and National Board Certification. I am also Orton Gillingham and Reading Recovery trained for students with diagnosed and undiagnosed learning disabilities and academic delays.
