I began teaching in 2000 and my journey to make a difference in the lives of my students began. Currently, I am going on my second year of teaching in Odessa-Montour. I have a bachelor's degree in special education, elementary education and a concentration in psychology from Keuka College. Additionally, I hold a master's degree from Elmira College in education.
I have taught levels ranging from elementary to the adult learner.
I believe displaying a consistent level of concern and interest for my students significantly increases their motivation and achievement levels. I excel at preparing students to achieve their true potential and helping them to see the rewards of their efforts. Teaching is a profession that requires persistent reflection and adjustment in order to be highly effective. Being my best self helps to model the behavior I intend to impart to my students. Meeting the needs of my students will always be my top priority.
