About Me

I have been teaching for 25 years in the elementary classroom. For the past 10, I have been a Reading Specialist at the school and state level working for the Alabama Reading Initiative.  I have a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and a Reading Specialist Certification. I learned so much facilitating professional development and coaching that I couldn't wait to get back to the classroom and try out what I had learned. I made the decision to venture back into the classroom to work directly with students again as a first grade teacher. Yes, they are energetic, but how exciting it is to get to see them grow daily!
