I have a BS degree from Texas Women's University in Kinesiology/Math specialized in coaching. I also have a MEd degree from Lamar University. My career consisted of 30 years teaching middle and high school math classes, serving as the high school testing coordinator and middle school assistant principal. Several years were spent coaching girls sports at the middle school and high school level. During this time I have taught all levels of math classes as well as all levels of students. I understand students learn from different types of instruction, different types of environments and sometimes lots of patience. As an educator I have taught other topics besides math. I always build on what the student already knows about the topic. If very little is known, then we explore and create a base of knowledge.

I know how difficult school and studying can be at times, and that is why I am passionate about helping students succeed. I am still a student myself as I am wrapping up my M.Ed. degree in Counseling and Human Development at Lamar University. My graduation will be in December of this year. My undergraduate degree was a BA in History at the University of Georgia. My main areas of knowledge are in history and psychology/counseling, and I am a huge fan of those subjects. I really enjoy telling the stories that can be found in history, and I am so intrigued with how the mind works. My teaching and learning philosophy is that anyone can learn anything. Sometimes we just need a little bit of help to get over some hurdles. I have a pretty laid-back style when it comes to working with people as well. In my spare time, I like to exercise, watch sports, do just about anything outdoors, and play adult league baseball.

In addition to my Masters in Education, I have found history, government and economics extremely exciting and linked together in many respects. I also have 3 years experience teaching history and government to high school students. What I have learned through that experience was that to get kids to understand and value historical events, I had to make these events come to life. I implemented unorthodox teaching strategies such as combining film, biographies and historical accounts together to make these events memorable for them. I am passionate about teaching and helping students come to love the act of learning and I would cherish the opportunity to transform the way your students view history, government and economics.
