I am excited to be a part of the Oakhurst STEAM Academy family and look forward to another great school year. This is my second year as the Talent Development teacher here at Oakhurst and my fifteenth year teaching. Wow! Time flies. I can hardly believe it myself! My experiences includes teaching 6th grade for one year with CMS. I was also a Professional Development Trainer and taught English as a Second Language for two years in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, which was a life changing, wonderful experience.
My professional experiences also include being an Online Adjunct Faculty member for a university for the past 8 years. I previously taught 4th grade for four years at a STEAM school in Atlanta, Georgia. While living in Atlanta, I was a Talent Development teacher for two years (K-5). In addition, I have taught both 1st and 2nd grades for two years each.
It is my goal to challenge all students to grow in their abilities to learn and think as well as discover their gifts and talents. Let's have an awesome year!
Education:
Bachelors in Journalism and Mass Communications - University of South Carolina (1999)
Masters in Education - Georgia State University (2003)
Add-On Gifted In Field Certification (2006)
