My Personal Information

I was born in Mobile on December 23, 1985.  I have lived here my entire life.  I come from a medium sized family of five.  I am the youngest of three girls. I have a little dog named "Bama" who is the center of attention at my house!  I am a very big Alabama football fan.."Roll Tide!"  I am not married yet, but I plan to marry in the future and raise a family in the south.  Education is my passion.  I love to work with children and motivate them to learn.

What a job!

Teaching is my passion! It requires my total devotion to not only academics but to my students as well.  Being a teacher is a seven day a week job due to the fact that your class is always on your mind.  You must constantly create new lesson plans and activities that will motivate and encourage learning.  Your classroom can never become a boring place or you will not reap the full benefits nor will your students.  If students are bored, they do not focus and often times misbehave.  Keep things interesting, bright, fun, and creative! Always have something for them to do.  Teaching is a very personal occupation.  You must have a relationship with your students and their parents.
