Hello Parents and students,

Here is a little information about me. I started teaching in 2002 at L'ouverture Middle school, where I taught for 5 years. I worked there teaching 6th grade students until 2006, after obtaining my B.S.

I then began my career as a Special Education teacher and joined the staff of Ashland Elementary School in 2006-2007 school year. My current  position is Reading Specialist. I have been teaching at Ashland for 15 years. I love teaching and molding students academic minds. Now I will embark on supporting teachers and students with the tools necessary to "Boost" our reading scores towards proficiency. I pride myself on having good relationships with students, parents, and colleagues.

My hometown is Little Rock, Arkansas. I attended my first 3 years of college at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Ark. I moved to St. Louis in 1989. I graduated with B.S Degree in Business Administration in 2006 and then obtained my M.S Degree in Special Education in 2009, Both from Fontbonne University. I continued my education by securing  Certification in Reading in 2017.

I am very passionate about working with students to be the best that can be. I specialize in meeting students where they are in the education process and guiding towards profieciency and advanced levels.
