I love teaching and learning. I am in my 29th year of elementary education. I started as a 2nd-grade teacher. After two years, I spent the next 13 years co-teaching a primary multiage classroom. I enjoyed leading book studies with my colleagues during those years and became a National Board Certified Teacher. Fourteen years ago, I made the move to administration where I worked as the assistant principal for 13 years. One year ago I became the principal of Minerva Elementary. While teaching is my first passion, being in administration has provided me with the opportunity to empower teachers to be the best they can be. It has also provided me the opportunity to work closely with Dianne Ferrell to develop our Minerva Elementary PBIS Framework. Together we have presented at the local and state levels. I absolutely love what I do! You can reach me at pbisjourneytogenius@gmail.com
