I have a degree in Education from Burlington College. I am currently working as a long term 6th grade substitute reading teacher in Saint Lucie County. I have worked in grades K-8 including ESE with varying exceptionalities. I love teaching as well as learning. I am very structured I can also be strict, but always fair. I believe that praise and success are the best rewards for the majority of children. I think words are magical and try to expand my vocabulary daily as well as that of the children I work with. I love a good challenge or discovering peculiar "fun facts" in life.

As cheesy as it may sound, knowledge is power and learning new stuff is pretty amazing. Comprehending what you learn is just as important (if not more so) than recalling the information.
