I am beginning my 9th year at Dawson High School. In January I will have 17 years of teaching public school under my belt. I believe we will have a blast this year while we learn some things that will help build your skills and confidence for your junior year and beyond!

The most important aspects of my life are my faith, my family (including my furbabies), and my calling/purpose.

My teaching style mainly involves helping students find value, and even some fun, in learning and gaining new knowledge. I am fair, consistent, and direct - my students and I have a great time together but we also take care of business. Most of my students know that I care a great deal about them, have compassion for them, but will also hold them accountable with high expectations because I know they are capable of amazing things. I love to celebrate my students' successes and achievements as well as encourage and uplift them through challenges and difficulties. My classroom is welcoming, safe, and often described by students as feeling "cozy." I believe I always end up with the students I am meant to have and am grateful for each and every one. Here's to a successful and enjoyable 2024-25 school year! Go EAGLES!
