About me...

I work at Threaded Fasteners Inc. I enjoy my job and the people I work with. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education from the University of South Alabama. I aspire to contribute to the lives of children through my teaching. I have always loved helping children throughout my life. I have worked at numerous daycare's and summer camps with children over the years. I feel it will be my duty as a teacher to prepare my students to be successful individuals in society.
My Teaching Philosophy
I believe it is the right of every child to be seen as an individual. As a teacher, it is my job to do that. It is also my job to provide a safe and controlled environment for my students to learn in. it is my goal to develop each child through instruction and discipline. My students are like sponges who will absorb everything I teach. Since education is only one aspect of a child’s full growth, the classroom shares the responsibility with the community and the home to develop the whole child and enable him/her to become a mature, responsible member of society.
Through tough love, commitment, and collaboration, it is my goal to make sure every child is provided the opportunity to reach his/her fullest potential not only academically, but also emotionally, and socially.

To be a Teacher is to be a Student

In order to teach a child you have to think like a child. As a teacher, I have to remember that I have a college degree but, my students do not. I can not teach a first grader the same as a tenth grader. I have to interpret the material I am teaching into the language of a first grader. I also want learning to be fun. Students relate to music. The Ron Clark Story taught me that you can put any knowledge into a song. Music is my passion. Teaching is my passion. What better two things to combine in a classroom?
