I actually knew from a very early time that I wanted to be a teacher.  I attended college at Virginia Tech. (GO HOKIES!!!) I found that Political Science was my interest and that I really wanted to teach government at the high school level. I was one of two women to graduate in the Political Science Department at Virginia Tech.

 I began teaching at York High School in the Social Studies Department in 1993.  I was so pleased to be able to teach at YHS, because I knew from having two daughters graduate from here, that YHS was a great place to be.  I have spent most of my extra curricular time sponsoring the Senior Class.  Though it can be challenging and crazy during the fall and spring of the year, it is truly a fun and exciting activity.  But perhaps the most rewarding experience of my teaching career is seeing the success of the many students that have passed through my classroom door.  I feel confident that the world and our future will be in good hands.
