As an Inclusion Teacher, my classroom mission is to provide all students with a safe and conducive environment in the classroom. All students are given the support and necessary materials to reach his or her academic, behavior and personal goals.

About Me

I am so excited to be working with a wonderful staff here at Statesville High School. This is my fourth year at Statesville High School. I have been in the education field for ten plus years. Throughout my teaching experience, I had the pleasure of being a Preschool Teacher, GED/ESL instructor for teens and adults, an Elementary Teacher and currently a Special Education Teacher. I was raised in Baldwin Park, California and lived in Buffalo, New York for over 15 years. I graduated from Villa Maria College with an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. I also graduated from Canisius College and received a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. I was the first recipient at Villa Maria College to receive an Attendance Award. I furthered my education at Canisius College and graduated with a Masters degree in Special Education. I completed courses from Gardner Webb University in School Administration. Throughout my years of schooling, each semester I was on the deans list or honor roll. I enjoy learning new things which helps me understand my personal and professional growth.

We have a thirteen year old son, name Kenneth and a daughter, Aireeana who is two years old. My husband graduated from Erie Community College in Buffalo, New York with an Associates degree in Liberal Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. He also graduated from Buffalo State College in Buffalo, New York with a Bachelors degree in World History/African American History.
