The Lord led me to teaching which is my second career. I feel called to teach
and am blessed to be able to help children learn and grow. I am a retired
attorney and prior to teaching, I practiced law for about ten years. I then
took some time off from working outside the home. I began working at LACS
several years ago and this is my third year teaching 3rd LAD. I have
a BA degree in history with a minor in English as well as a JD. I am also
certified to teach reading and language arts skills using the Slingerland
multi-sensory approach.
I have a daughter who is in college at The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and a son who attends The King's Academy. My husband of 24
years and I are both very involved in our church. My hobby is
reading. I am never without a book of some kind.
Mission For The Class
The main mission of my class is to build the self esteem of students by
increasing their fluency, reading comprehension, decoding, math, and spelling
skills. Improvement in these areas will flow over into all areas of study
(e.g. science and social studies). I want to help students who find reading
difficult to begin to enjoy the written word. I think of education as a
partnership between parents, teachers, and the student. We each have a role
and must support each other in order for each student to be able to do his/her
personal best.
