About The Teacher

This will be my 8th year at Old Donation Center.  I have a Bachelor's in 
child psychology with a minor in social welfare.  I am currently working 
towards my Master's in education and my endorsement in gifted education. My 
personal philosphy in education is the 
importance of teaching the whole child, academically, physically, and 
socially.  

I have been married for 21 years.  My son Michael is a Senior at Cox High 
School.  Michael attended O.D.C. for elementary school and Kemps Landing 
Magnet for middle school. My daughter Noe attended John B. Dey elementary 
school and is now is in 7th grade at Great Neck Middle 
School.  Noe attends the dance program at O.D.C.  I believe in Virginia 
Beach City Public Schools and have been extremely pleased at each individual 
path my children have taken and the opportunities our system has made 
available to them. 

In my free time, I enjoy golf, exercising and watching the sunset on the 
beach 
with family and friends.

Mission For The Class

Children will grow academically and socially in a flexible and supportive 
learning environment. My goal is to guide students in a relaxed yet 
challenging environment, encouraging responsibility and autonomy, supporting 
their different needs, and emphasizing their individual strengths.  Our 
classroom is an environment where children are safe from ridicule and 
bullying.  Our classroom is filled with good feelings, laughter, and active 
learning.
