About The Teacher

I am very happy to be in my 5th year here at Mandeville Jr. High. Before 
that, I taught for 4 years in Wake Forest, North Carolina, and before that I 
taught for 10 years at Bel Air Middle School in Maryland. I have always 
taught 7th and 8th grade social studies. I received my teaching degree from 
Salisbury University and my Masters from McDaniel University, both in 
Maryland. In 2003, I earned National Board Certification. In 2007 I earned 
my certification in Gifted Education.
I am married and have 2 daughters. One lives in Maryland and one lives in 
North Carolina. I have a grandson who turns two on August 25.  I also have a 
yellow lab named Maggie, who, as we like to say, has a great deal 
of "spirit".
