My entire adult life has been committed to children, teaching, and learning. Working as a passionate teacher, earning two master's degrees, and engaging in a multitude of professional learning opportunities have given me insight into the key elements that work to support and guide students academically, socially, and emotionally . I have also taken on numerous leadership roles throughout my career: ELA Professional Learning Community Leader, School Social-Emotional Program Leader, and Instructional Leadership Team member.The goal of education is to give students the best learning experience possible; that can only be done if teachers are motivated and inspired to do their very best.
