It is such an honor to serve the Overton Wolverines as an Intellectually Gifted CLUE teacher. While rigor and challenge are priorities for academic achievement, relational health and supportive networks are equally important to student growth. My goal is to understand each scholar's unique learning style in order to provide customized tools to increase individual literacy skills and overall performance. As a life-long learner, I am fascinated by integrating electronic tools like gamification into learning. Believe in the O, Go Wolverines!

During leisure time, my focus is on personal health and well-being. My favorite activity is walking near the Mississippi River or in Shelby Farms. Of course, Saturdays and Sundays are rewarding to rejuvenate. Curling up with an interesting novel, traveling for a getaway, or enjoying favorite recipes are top choices for the weekend. Family time is essential, so digital "cousin conversations" are regular events. Overall, I pursue a healthy, happy, and hopeful lifestyle to make a positive impact on humanity.
