About me

I retired after 25 years in education as an elementary and middle school classroom teacher for WCPSS. Following my retirement, I worked as a buyer for Variety Wholesalers for a couple of years. I re-entered the field of education when Envision Science Academy offered an 8th grade Science position. I recently completed my first full year at Envision. I am passionate about integrating technology into the classroom to create engaging labs, classwork, and projects for my students.
