I have 13 years of teaching experience in the secondary setting. I have taught US History, AP US History, World Geography, Sociology, Psychology, AP Psychology, and State Dual Credit Psychology.
My teaching style is relaxed but with high expectations. I believe in treating my students as the young adults they are but scaffolding independence and responsibility. Part of my job is to prepare them for life after high school, so I hold my students accountable for assignments, deadlines, and expected behaviors.

I have always known I was called to be a teacher. I enjoy balancing my professional life with my other full-time job: being a mom! I have three beautiful children who love to keep me busy. Our house is full of love and lots of laughter. My husband is also in education. He is a former History teacher and current Assistant Principal, as well as, Athletic Director.
