As a teacher for the past 27 years, I have worked with so many
students in grades K-5 and recently started loving a new aspect of teaching—SCIENCE! I started out teaching general education in Maryland and then moved to Georgia to continue my career. I started teaching special education in grades K-5 with Cobb County in 2006 and moved to Big Shanty in 2016. With the school’s focus on STEM and the curiosity and enthusiasm of the students and teachers, I opened up my mind to a new love of science. With the STEM investigations in the class and starting a girl’s science club called GEMS (Girls Excelling in Math and Science), I am learning more and more every day about the incredible world we live in through the eyes of young scientists! With the knowledge gained through KSU-MSP, I have become a better teacher and look forward to more successful and engaging school years looking through the magnifying glass at our awesome world!
