Tates Creek Middle School, Sixth Grade Math

"I believe that in order to be a good educator I must first invest in the little people. I feel it is crucial to connect with each student in a positive way and earn their trust so that they can feel safe in my classroom. I drive into my students daily that mistakes = learning opportunities, and sometimes the only way to learn how to correctly solve a problem is to incorrectly solve it the first time. Some of our best lessons in life and in the classroom are learned by making mistakes.

"I am passionate about my profession and my students know that.  I challenge myself daily not only to educate but to also entertain...learning should be FUN!!!"
