About The Teacher

Welcome to our class!  I am a career teacher with 18 years of experience.  
This is my 11th year teaching at Trantwood. I previously taught 3rd grade 
here at Trantwood, 1st grade at Indian Lakes Elementary, and 5th grade at 
the Singapore American School in Southeast Asia. My certification is Pre-
school through 8th grade.  I am married and we have two sons.  Adam is a 
recent ODU graduate, and Blake (a Trantwood alumni), is a Jr. at 
Cox HS.  The other family members at our house are an orange Tabby named 
Nicholas, and a Golden Retriever named Bailey.  I look forward to a great 
year with you all!

I feel very blessed to have been chosen three years in a row for "Who's Who" 
among American educators by three of my former students, now in college! I 
am also proud to have been chosen by my colleagues as Trantwood's 2008 
Teacher of the Year!

Mission For The Class

My mission is for your child to have a positive learning experience in the 
4th grade!  In order for this to happen, I look forward to being a team 
player with you and your child.  I feel as if our class is a family, and 
want you and most importantly your child to know that this is a safe place 
for them to learn and experience new things!  Children must feel a sense of 
joy and hope in their school day in order to suceed.  Together we can 
prove that we will accomplish great things!
