My career began in the Wake County Public Schools teaching language arts. Most recently, I taught English to high school students in the District of Columbia Public Schools. My passion is teaching and inspiring young adults. Growing up my father and mother expressed the importance of working hard and doing well in school. I am passing that same standard to my students. I am a lifelong learner myself. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from Shaw University (Go Bears!). When I'm not teaching language Arts, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and traveling. I invite and encourage families to be a part of the learning experience this year in our class!
