Summary
I am an experienced middle school ELA teacher with a strong focus on organizational skills and building relationships with others. I loved mentoring and collaborating with new teachers. In the past 34 years, I have dedicated my life to creating a positive learning atmosphere for my students. I am retiring in August and looking for a part-time job that will replace the need for me to help others. I am very outgoing and I love meeting new people.
