A.++ABOUT+ME

My Life I am a 1993 graduate of Union High School. I graduated from Bluefield State College in 1997 with a degree in Business/Accountancy. After working for a few years at a local bank, I decided that my real passion was teaching. I decided to return to college in pursuit of a degree in education. In 2007, I graduated from Bluefield State College with a degree in Elementary Education with Middle School specializations in English and Social Studies. In August of 2007 I landed my first teaching job and things have not slowed down since. In August of 2009 I began a 2 year journey that ended in July of 2011 with my obtaining a Master's Degree as a Reading Specialist from Concord University. That was my proudest acheivement thus far in my educational journey.

For three years I taught 7th grade Reading and Language Arts, and I absolutely loved it! Two years ago I took a job with our school's Title I department. In this position I work with students who need extra assistance developing their reading skills. I also co-teach in different classrooms from Kindergarten through 4th grade. I have learned so much from these experiences, and truly love what I do. Reading has always been a passion for me. I can't remember a time when I wasn't carrying a book around. I hope that in some way I can create the spark within my students to inspire them to carry a flame for literacy. After all, without the ability to read and write...where would we be?
