"I teach fifth-grade math and science at Key Elementary School. My roots are in JPS as my mother taught in JPS for 32 years. The success of my students and my love for teaching motivate me every day. One of my greatest experiences was when my students were recognized at the District's Convocation ceremony for their growth in math on the MAAP for the 2017-2018 school year. The teaching profession is a learning journey built upon experience and drive that will allow you the opportunity to grow."

"My students are, of course, my motivation. I love this job, and I have so much respect for my students. I want to be there every day to teach them and to learn from them. I want to help them discover their voice as writers and learn to trust themselves as scholars. I am lucky because I am also passionate about the content I teach."
