I began my teaching career with Onslow County Schools in 1991.  At the time I was teaching in the FLES program, which I LOVED!!  My middle school experience began in 1994 with Virginia Beach Public Schools.  I have been at the middle school level since that time. 

Bio

Native of North East Ohio.  Mother of two beautiful children:  Jamison-age 23;  Alyssa-age 18.  Many interests and hobbies-  one of them being the study of voice.  It was through studying song in Italian and French, that caused me to shift focus and pursue a teaching career in Foreign Language. 

I have coordinated summer programs with students from Spain while I was teaching in Virginia Beach Public Schools.  My husband and I also had a student from Gata Spain living with us as an exchange student for ten months.  We definitely built life long friendships.  Our whole family went to Spain in 2003 and visited our new friends.  My aged 23 yr old son was an exchange student in Leer, Germany. He was there on a scholarship for a full academic year through the State Department. During the spring of 2016, we went and toured Europe as a family while visiting my son in Germany.
