WHY DO I TEACH?
I believe that EVERY person has a talent and is really good at something. It is my job to help discover what that is and teach strategies that might help with things that cause struggles.
My favorite saying is "Eat the elephant one bite at a time!" We all get overwhelmed from time to time, I try to help students learn how to chunk items and break large tasks down into manageable items.
I also teach because I want to be a better teacher than what I had in the 10th grade! Never really having had a "strong" and "great" teacher...I want to be that for my students so that when they look back, they know that I cared about them as a person and wanted to help develop their whole person...not just what I needed for the classroom.

I moved to Colorado in June of 2023. I had the opportunity to live in several different places before that (North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington)
Born and raised in NC , I left in 1988 for TX; I moved back to NC in 2019 and left NC to move to CO in June 2023.
I moved from NC to TX and lived in TX for over 30 years!
In the late 90's, I lived in Washington State for almost 3 years, but then moved back to TX.
