Welcome!  I am so excited to be part of an amazing 4th grade team and I am thrilled to be teaching ELA at HHE! I have taught elementary school for over 25 years, in a variety of places. I have a B.S. in Elementary and Special Education, and my National Board Teaching Certification in the area of Middle Child Generalist.  I have my Gifted and Talented SC Endorsement, also.  I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I enjoy walking my dogs and spending time with my family in Evans, Georgia. I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pa and attended Slippery Rock University.
