I am all about teaching and learning. The best place to do that is in a school, a place I have always found to be like home for me. It's who I am, it's what I do, it's my passion. I have been with the Hoover City Schools system for 10 years. However, I have been teaching for 20 years. I am a National Board Certified teacher currently undergoing recertification. My key educational interests are reading intervention, the future of writing instruction, and the Common Core.
