Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello!  I am a fifteen-year veteran public school teacher licensed in many subjects including middle school History/Social Science, English, and teaching experience with the Humanities.  I have taught U.S. History for almost fifteen years, and have been teaching Civics and Economics for the last two.  I love reading, writing, journaling, and helping students with these skills.  

I hold a bachelor's degree in Anthropology and Secondary Education, and a have background in archaeology and forensic studies.   I have a master's degree in Literacy and Culture with a Reading Specialist endorsement, which I have used in the classroom for many years to help students with reading skills.  I love helping young people enjoy reading!  I am a leader in Boy Scouts counseling multiple merit badge classes, and a 4-H instructor teaching STEM, habitat management, and wildlife programming.

I have always loved teaching, it is my passion and I love introducing students to topics that they might not normally encounter.  

On a personal note, I am a mom to two active boys and we live in the country where we garden, raise chickens, and enjoy the simple life!
