My Story:

The library media specialist who returned to the classroom, that's me. As such, I love causing my students to do research as we explore geography, American history and English language arts. I have taught in Detroit, Houston and St. Thomas, USVI.

My Ideal School is a Place Where:

students, teachers and community stakeholders are involved in a way that promotes learning and all feel free to offer input expecting to be heard.

My Religious Views:

I have my beliefs and others do not have to share them but do have to respect mine as I do theirs.

My Political Views:

Are Mine

My Personal Heroes:

Those who have come before me paving a path upon which I walk; those who face obstacles and turn them into learning experiences

My Personal Motto:

“Experience is not what happens to you. Experience is what you do with what happens to you.” ...Aldous Huxley
