I have a B.A. in Elementary Education and am currently completing a M.A in Instructional Technology from North Carolina Central University. I have been teaching kindergarten in Durham Public Schools for 6 years and think it's the greatest job ever. I love technology and am always reading or watching to see what's coming next! I'm most anxiously awaiting a working model of a time machine....hopefully it won't be much longer.
Since technology almost always cost $$$$ I enjoy writing grants to help get more technology to integrate into the core curriculum. I am the grant coordinator for my Elementary School and have written and been awarded over $2000 in grants in the last year and a half. I believe it is very important to ensure our students are 21st Century ready.
Because I have the most awesome career and clientele, protecting it is so important to me. I am a member of the National Education Association and their local North Carolina Association of Educators division. I am on the executive board for my county and meet frequently with legislatures in Raleigh to talk about the importance of teachers, what we do, and our students. I have represented my local at many state conventions over the last 5 years ensuring their voices will be heard! The fight is continuous but not always pleasant, but a Muhammad Ali once said, " there are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win." Whenever there is a win for education it always feels great.

Wood floors, colorful, sophisticated,
Transporting, cranking, restoring,
Aroma of old musty leather,
Strolling the streets like a cop on patrol,
Smokiness of a freshly rolled cigarette,
Staircase, conductor, engine,
Velvety Moquette upholstery,
Knights of the road,
Ringing of the stop cord bell,
Longstanding, significant, remarkable.
