Education is my passion. I truly believe that as educators it is our job to not only provide meaningful curriculum to create well-educated individuals but to inspire students to become lifelong learners. We should celebrate student achievements and guide them to find their true passions.
I currently teach high school Family and Consumer Sciences. My favorite part of teaching CTE classes is the hands-on real-world experiences that prepare students for life after high school. In my classes, students explore career options, learn to manage their finances, write professional resumes and fill out job applications. Students practice effective communication skills, and event planning, participate in mock interviews, learn basic sewing skills and cook healthy inexpensive meals.

Bachelors of Arts in Psychology
