Let's Learn Together!

Welcome!

Greetings Amazing Students! 

I am excited about serving as your ELA instructor for the 2024 - 2025 school year! I look forward to our educational journey together! My primary goal is to do every thing I can to empower you to hone your reading, writing, speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills!

Experience

I am a life-long learner who has served as an educator for over 30 years.  I am currently certified to teach three content areas (in Georgia): English Language Arts (6-12), French (K-12), and ESOL (English for Speakers of other Languages). I am also a daughter, mother, auntie, author, certified life coach, and business owner. 

As a proud nerd, I love reading, especially biographies; writing; traveling; gardening; watching documentaries; and walking in nature. 

Effort Matters!

To maximize your learning experience, make sure you attend class, bring required materials, listen, follow instructions, ask questions, complete assignments, and most importantly, TRY. My joy comes from seeing you grow in every dimension of your life. 

Let's learn together.
