I am originally from Rochester, NY. I have taught 9th Reading until this year. I am married with three crazy boys:) I believe that all children have the right to learn and the desire to succeed.

Each student is a valuable unique gift. Every student can excel! Students must be taught in the area of their giftedness. It is their uniqueness that prepares them for life's challenges. As a teacher, I strive to be innovative and creative in helping students appreciate their design. My quest is to diligently use different strategies that will improve students' self worth and academic achievement.
Every student is a genius. Thomas Armstrong
