FCOBE Teacher of the Year!
I have been teaching math for seven years, and I currently teach Accelerated Math 1 and Math 3. Teaching math is more than a job to me; it is my passion.  To be honored as a Fayette County Teacher of the year finalist is exciting and humbling especially when I know there are so many deserving teachers in the county.  I also think this honor gives me a great platform to prove to my students past and present that it is indeed ok to like math!  God has blessed me in so many ways throughout my teaching career so far, and I am only on year seven.  The true heroes in education are those like my mother who devoted over thirty years in the classroom.  She did her best to help shape the minds of the future, and I can only hope I come anywhere close to her success.  I have had the privilege to work with wonderful students who inspire and motivate me everyday.  I work hard because they deserve my best effort.  Earning student and teacher respect means everything to me because I love what I do.
