This is my 29th year of teaching, all of which have been in Stafford County. I spent the first 12 years of my career teaching 5th graders and then moved to gifted education after obtaining my master's degree in 2007. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I love my job and my students! This quote from Mr. Rogers describes me best: "The best teacher in the world is someone who loves what he or she does, and just loves it in front of you."
