TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I currently teach at Roseland Elementary in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. I teach primarily Reading and Reading Intervention. I have 10 years experience teaching and I absolutely love it! Certified in Elementary and Special Education 1-12. Also hold certifications in Montessori I and II. I love manatees and enjoy taking several trips a year to Florida for my "manatee getaways".

MY TEACHING STYLE

I truly believe that all students can learn, and if they are not learning, you are not presenting it to them in a way that they can understand. I believe the personal relationship you build with a student is also key to success- you are their cheerleader and motivator. I think teachers need to keep themselves in their students' shoes and wonder "Would I want to sit and do this?" Teachers must be entertainers, counselors, mentors, and must show enthusiasm in all they do if they expect the students to perform.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I have wanted to be a teacher since the day I can remember. I enjoy each and every day and consider it a privilege. I learn so much from my students and coworkers- I continue to be amazed at the human potential. I want to learn as much as possible- everyday! I focus on solutions rather than problems and am extremely motivated from the middle of my being! Thank you so much for your interest!
