Welcome!  I live in Virginia with my two precious boys Ashton, and Carson and a beloved partner of 17 years; Jeremy.  I enjoy traveling, spending time with my kids, learning new things, and I especially enjoy teaching.  Teaching has always been a dream of mine and I continue to find different enlightening avenues to fulfill this dream.  

I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with a concentration in Elementary Education, Associates of Arts & Science, and a certificate in Surgical Technology.  

I am a licensed teacher and taught 2nd grade for three years and will be teaching third grade this coming year. 
 I have experience in teaching students to read, write, and math skills. 

I started my career as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), I then received my certificate in Surgical Technology (CST) and worked in the operating room for 5 years.  Then I taught the clinical/lab portion of the Surgical Technology program at the community college level.   I worked for a short time in a daycare/preschool setting teaching ages 3-5, which lead me to becoming a Special Education Teacher Assistant in an elementary school, teaching children from kindergarten to fifth grade, this position pathed the way for my current job as a public educator.  I volunteered with the local Girl Scouts, for about 5 years, as a troop leader for girls ages 5-18.  

I am hoping to teach a diverse group of classes touching on different areas of my expertise and career paths.  I enjoy being in the classroom and working with all children, Outschool is just a different version of that classroom and I look forward to working with your child(ren) and enjoying a class(es) together here on Outschool.  

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to request a class time/topic.
