Welcome to Civics/Economics 7! By June, it is my hope that each of you will know the basic structure and functions of both the Virginia and US governments as well as our economic system. I love seeing students learn and I look forward to our year together.

Now, a little about myself…I graduated from Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education. This is my 16^th year as an educator. I grew up in Roanoke County and went to elementary, junior and high school there. I even had the privilege of working with some of my former teachers because before moving to York County, I worked at my “old” high school. In York County, I have worked at Tabb Middle, Yorktown Middle and have been at Grafton since it opened in 1996. I enjoy traveling with my husband, reading, scrapbooking and watching sports, especially Hokies football.
