Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year. I am so excited to see you and work with your little ones! This will be my 10th year working with RCPS as an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher. Prior to working for RCPS, I taught Preschool Special Education for Roanoke City Schools. I obtained both my Bachelors's and Master's degrees from Radford University as well as licensure in Early Childhood Special Education and Early Childhood Regular Education. My husband also works for RCPS as our Bobcat Athletic Trainer. We have three sons who also attend Radford City Schools.
I absolutely love my job! I am one of the luckiest people in the world. I get to come to work every day and be greeted by unconditional love, smiles, and excitement to learn. Even on hard days, seeing the progress my students make throughout the year renews my energy and keeps me coming back for more.

- I committed to graduate from Liberty High school in 2004. I also committed to graduate from Radford University in 2008 and 2009. I am inspired by the tremendous progress my students make each year. I have always looked up to my mother and the strong, kind example she has had in my life. As a child I had a reading disability. My special education teacher had a huge impact on my choice to follow in her footsteps. I learned that expectations should not be decreased due to a disability.
I look forward to watching my students grow and learn within their classroom setting this school year.
I look forward to forming new relationships with my students and to collaborating with their parents to provide a positive learning environment at both home and school.
