Staff Directory

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in secondary education and a Master of Education in curriculum development. For more than 25 years, I’ve taught a wide range of middle school math courses, including Algebra I, and I bring that experience into every online lesson. I focus on engaging students in the virtual classroom while helping them build an understanding of math concepts and develop confidence in their problem-solving skills. 

I have been a part of the educational system since 2004. I have a bachelor’s degree in history from Clearwater Christian College and have received my secondary education licensure from multiple universities. Although I have taught many subjects and ages, my passion has always been a love of learning. I am excited to continue to cultivate lifelong learners with my students. When I am not in the classroom, my time is spent with my two boys and my husband. I love reading mystery books and traveling. I love to experience new places, foods, and cultures. By sharing my previous travels with my students, I hope to create a curiosity that will encourage them to see and experience new places, people, and cultures in the world for themselves.

I am an enthusiastic online educator with four years of experience teaching in the classroom and tutoring students of diverse backgrounds. I hold undergraduate and graduate degrees in education and am currently completing a master’s in social studies curriculum and instruction. I am passionate about creating engaging, supportive learning environments where students feel confident and motivated. I’m excited to support learners as they grow and succeed in their academic goals.

I am a highly experienced high school mathematics educator with 29 years of teaching experience and a strong technical background in virtual instruction. I hold a Bachelor of Science in mathematics, a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, and am certified to teach grades 6–12 mathematics. I am passionate about making math accessible through clear, scaffolded instruction and hold myself accountable for student growth in synchronous and asynchronous learning environments while working collaboratively to support students and families. 

I am an experienced science educator with an extensive background teaching virtually and in person. I earned my bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Centre College, my master’s in teaching from the University of Louisville (Go Cards!), and my gifted-and-talented endorsement from Western Kentucky University. I am certified in middle-grades science in multiple states and specialize in assisting gifted and talented students and their unique needs. As much as I love teaching (as demonstrated in an episode of Can You Teach Us?), my greatest blessing is my family.

I am an experienced and dedicated educator who believes reading and writing are essential to communicating ideas and understanding the world. Guided by the values of respect, integrity, and caring, I strive to create a supportive and engaging classroom where students feel challenged and valued. I am certified in English Language Arts and bring experience teaching students from middle school through the university level. Throughout my career, my goal has always been to help students grow as confident readers, writers, and thinkers who can clearly express their ideas.

I have been a teacher for more than 20 years in brick-and-mortar and online settings. I have an undergraduate degree in international relations and a master’s degree in counseling and educational leadership. For most of my educational career, I have been an English Language Arts and special education teacher, though I have held various leadership positions. My true passion is teaching young people to read, write, and think, as these are essential life skills. I bring a combination of proven pedagogical skills and work experience to the classroom that facilitates learning for all students. My certifications include English Language Arts, reading, special education, English speakers of other languages, social studies, and educational leadership. 

I am an accomplished educator and dedicated learning coach. I hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Georgia State University and a secondary education biology degree from Western Governors University. In my 12 years of professional teaching, I have worked in traditional and virtual classrooms, including five years with K12-powered online schools. The foundation of my teaching is the belief that every student is a scientist at heart. My greatest professional joy is creating warm, inclusive environments where learners feel welcomed, inspired, and equipped to discover the relevance of science in their everyday lives.
