I have 27 years of teaching experience in a variety of schools, grades and programs. I have leadership abilities and extensive knowledge with literacy, programming for all needs and incorporating technology into my lessons. I have participated in professional development opportunities about multiculturalism, diversity, Indigenous culture, Balanced Literacy and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention. I am dedicated and loyal. I have a strong command of my classroom management through genuine connections with my students and parents. I am firm but fair. I love to laugh and socialize with colleagues. I continue to learn and grow and am ready for new experiences.
