EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
My belief as it pertains to education, is that all students can experience academic success which can further propel them into success as a college and/ or career ready adult. My work as an educator and a consultant has been based on infusing research-based practices with data driven classroom instruction, coupled with tailored school-wide plans for holistic success.
My professional success can be attributed to personal, action-based research based on specific needs of students being serviced through my support. Through my experiences, I have found the self- fulfilling prophecy to make the greatest impact. If students are held accountable for reaching their greatest potential they will indeed rise to those expectations as long as the proper support systems are in place while they do so.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I then went on to receive my Master’s Degree in Teaching. I am a certified teacher in the state of Wisconsin.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have worked in the field of education for the past 8 years. After obtaining great success in my personal classroom, I took my skills to schools throughout the state of Mississippi as an education consultant. My goal was to help more students reach their full academic potential than those sitting in my personal classroom. It is now my desire to reach more students in the virtual world of education, further propelling students into college and career readiness.
I have taught in both rural, suburban, and city school districts. In addition to teaching students, I have also provided professional development to teachers locally and at large conventions as well.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
I am actively involved in my children’s academic and sport lives. We are healthcare advocates and enjoy physical activity and exercise. My family also enjoys partaking in mission trips both locally and internationally with our church organization.
