I have loved watching WKU students come through my classroom from the SKY Teach Program and would love to personally work with the Program at WKU. I have 31 years of experience in Middle School Education in teaching both mathematics and science to middle school students consistently developing and implementing effective curriculum strategies. I have experience in fostering a collaborative classroom atmosphere and achieving significant improvements in student performance. I am very reliable and adaptable in team environments and adept at adjusting to evolving educational needs.
