This is my 18th year teaching. I have a master's degree in reading and currently working on my Educational Specialist degree in reading. I love watching how much the student's learn and grow throughout the year. I feel that reading is very important to do on a daily basis at home. Communication between parents and teachers is an important part making sure students are successful. I love spending time outdoors, going to the beach, and spending time with my family and friends when I am not working.
