I am a member of Delta Kappa Gamma International Society for Key Women Educators.
My major was Elementary Education. I come from a long line of educators. I was proud and honored to continue the tradition.
I have had many different experiences in the field of education. I taught in the classroom for 12 years, moved into the position of Literacy Coach and also have been honored to provide professional development for teachers all across the country in the area of Literacy. I am excited to be able to share my passion and enthusiasm for education with future teachers. I had no idea these amazing opportunities would be available to me when I was first starting out and I am so excited to pass this information on.
Be innovative, creative, and passionate about what you do. I was fortunate to have instructors who displayed this philosophy during both my undergraduate work and throughout my Master’s program.
I am most proud of the fact that I was able to take the learning experiences I was given and use them all throughout my career. I plan on infusing many of the same strategies and experiences with my UCF students this year.
