I am a fourth year teacher at SDHS who specializes in Family and Consumer Sciences. I graduated from UMES with a Family and Consumser Sciences Education degree and played softball as the starting catcher. I was also co-president of our Student Athlete Advisory Commitee. I love to teach and I love to coach. My focus in on the students and their achievement through the four years here and hoping to continue the relationship I build with my students through their life.

I am also the Varstiy assistant coach for both girls basketball and softball and the advisor for FCCLA and the Hospitaltiy Academy. These two groups are formed into one and we focus on planning, decorating, and preparing food for different school events throughout the year. When we are not preparing for an event we focus on the other components of FCCLA; family, career, and community. 

 I believe that every single student is special and unique and as a teacher you must pick up on these amazing differences and teach them to use them to their advantage. I believe that everyone has a right to learn, have fun and be happy. Having self-confidence and a positive outlook on life will allow my students to succeed in the classroom and in life.
