Who am I? I am an Intervention Specialist with the Avon Lake City Schools. I won't tell you how old I am :-) but I am young at heart. I have three beautiful daughters who have gone on to live their own adventures. My husband and I raised them to be just the way I hope you can be too: happy, joyous and free. I live with my sweet dog Maya in a big old house with a vegetable garden and lots of flowers. I enjoy hiking, camping, gardening, reading and writing stories. And kids! I like kids just like you!
Where did I learn to be a teacher? I went to Ohio State University for my 4 year degree and Cleveland State for my masters in education.
How long have I been teaching at Learwood? I have been teaching students at Learwood Middle School for 15 years. I have been a teacher for 23 years total. Wow! Where did the time go?
Where did I teach before that? I taught Reading Skills at West Tech High School in Cleveland; Title I Reading in East Cleveland; Multiple subjects and SLD Intervention at South High School, Cleveland; Multiple Subjects and SLD Intervention at Max Hayes Vocational High School, Cleveland. Now, here I am at Learwood Middle School. I have appreciated and learned from all of my students along my journey and look forward to yet another year of helping you this year.
My philosophy, or why I teach? I believe that we are all here to love and learn as much as we can in our lifetime. Whatever I can do to help you achieve this part of your journey--that is, going to school--well, I would be so grateful to have a part in that. You are unique, special, gifted and lovable. You have something to bring to the world that only you can bring, so I want to help you do that by improving your reading, writing and understanding of math, science, social studies and literature. Learning is fun! Let's work together to keep it that way.
