Hello parents and students! I'm excited to be spending my 14th year in education at the Virtual Academy teaching Social Studies and 8th grade ELA. I enjoy working with students and learning with them.

I'm a writer, an avid reader, and an engaged member of my community. I enjoy spending time with my husband of 20 years and our delightful rescue Foxhound, Copper. There is simply never enough time in the day to read all I want to read and learn all I want to learn--but I keep trying!
