I am beyond thrilled to be teaching 5th Grade DLI English Language Arts this year! As a fourth-generation educator, I take great pride in continuing my family’s legacy in education while helping shape the next generation of learners. This school year marks my nineteenth year in the classroom, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction to deepen my impact in the field.
As an Atlanta native and proud graduate of Atlanta Public Schools, it is a true honor to give back to the very community that nurtured and inspired me. I am an avid reader and passionate about teaching literacy, believing it to be the foundation that opens doors to endless opportunities for students.Outside of the classroom, I am a proud “boy mom” to three amazing sons who motivate and inspire me every day. Looking ahead, I aspire to continue serving students through roles such as Early Intervention Program (EIP) Teacher, where I can further support their academic growth and long-term success.
