In Room 53, I want to educate students to experience a high level of academic success, growth in character and responsibility, and to have a positive personal impact on them.  I believe it is essential to keep a positive attitude, have a sense of humor, be fair and consistent, and have high expectations.  I believe in differentiating instruction to meet the needs of my students’  individual learning styles and abilities.   Teaching is not only a desired occupation, but is truly a passion of mine!  I believe teachers have one of the most important and rewarding jobs in today's society and feel privileged to be part of it!
