A Little About Me professionaly and personally. . .


 


I am graduate of Columbus State University with a degree in English Language Arts with a concentration in Professional writing and a minor in Spanish. After graduating, I worked breifly as an editor for a local medical magazine in Columbus, Ga. However, I realized that life inside an isolated cubical editing several doctors research papers was not the kind of career that suited my personality. Thus, I decided that the writing world was not for me, and I pursued my interest in becoming a teacher. 

I began substitute teaching, and finally after pursing my degree I was hired in my field of choice. Currently, I am certified in teaching Middle Grades and Secondary English Language Arts.

I have been teaching for 5 years. Since I have been teaching, I have become very proud of my accomplishments and my passion about my subject area. I hope to continue teaching well into retirement. 

Also, personally, I own a house in Columbus, GA. I have 4 dogs, 1 cat, and a beautiful daughter. I have also raised my three brothers, who see me as their mom more than their big sister. 

I hope this has gave you an idea about the person teaching your class. I look forward to seeing you guys each and everyday.
