I graduated from MMHS in 1992. I attended Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. I majored in history with a concentration in secondary education. I graduated in 1996. I taught Ancient World History at Glen Avenue in 1997. In 1998, I was moved to Wicomico High School where I have taught World History, United States History (CM and ESS level), and You and the Law. I am currently attending Salisbury University as a graduate student. I hope to get my Masters' degree in Administration May 2008. I truly enjoy working with young people. I believe high expectations, a strong rapport, and strong communication with students and parents are the key to making students' experience at Wicomico High School a positive one.
