”For 11 years I have been in the classroom teaching. I have experience in parochial, charter, Montessori, and public education settings. After becoming disenfranchised with the system, I walked away with a heavy heart. I love being in the classroom but what I love more is students learning. My drive to improve the quality of the education system is strong. I am dedicated to students learning and improving the system that is currently in place.”
