Hello everyone,

I've been teaching 6th grade Math for 24 years in the Public Schools systems of NC and love every minute of the teaching experience.  I've also taught Science and Social Studies for a number of years along with Math.  I grew up here in Swansboro and have been a part of the SBMS family for 14 years.  I truly enjoy working with and guiding young people to a better understanding of our world through Math and Science through all of my personal experiences.  Along with teaching, I have spent many years working in the fields of Carpentry, Diesel Engine Maintenance, Commercial Fishing and currently hold a USCG Captain's License.  There are so many ways that Math and Science play a role in our careers and everyday lives.  I feel it's important to expose our children to a variety of these situations and incorporate real world projects and assignments throughout the year to enhance learning.  I look forward to working with your student to make his/her sixth-grade year an incredible experience.
