I WAS BORN IN JAMAICA, NEW YORK (MARY IMMACULATE HOSPITAL) AND LIVED FOR 25
YEARS ON LONG ISLAND. I ATTENDED CATHOLIC SCHOOLS FOR 12 YEARS(CORPUS
CHRISTI IN MINEOLA(1-8) AND SACRED HEART ACADEMY(9-12)) AND WENT TO
S.U.N.Y.@STONY BROOK AND GRADUATED WITH A B.A. IN BIOLOGY.
I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN PITTSBURGH SINCE 1982 BUT THE STUDENTS STILL CLAIM THAT
I "TAWLK" FUNNY. I LIVE IN MOON TOWNSHIP BUT FEEL VERY CONNECTED TO THE
PEOPLE OF CRAFTON, BECAUSE OF ALL THE FAMILIES I HAVE COME TO KNOW THROUGH
SAINT PHILIP'S.
MY TEACHER CERTIFICATIONS ARE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL/HIGH: GENERAL MATH, GENERAL
SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY.
Hi!!!!! WELCOME TO THE 2009-2010 SCHOOL YEAR
I'M EXCITED TO BE TEACHING THIS YEAR, I LOVE SCHOOL AND REALLY ENJOY TEACHING
MATH AND SCIENCE. I HOPE THAT EVERY CHILD CAN GROW ACADEMICALLY, SPIRITUALLY,
PHYSICALLY, SOCIALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY. SINCE EVERY PERSON IS UNIQUE AND HAS
THEIR OWN LEARNING STYLE, I TRY TO HELP STUDENTS WHO NEED HELP TO DO WELL IN
THEIR ACADEMIC SUBJECTS. I AM WILLING TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL OR COME IN EARLY
FOR EXTRA HELP. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS.
