I have been an educator in Georgia for over twenty-five years. My passion for learning started early in college - earning B..A. degrees in Literature, Philosophy, Spanish, Political Science, and Education at Georgia State University and Georgia Southern University as well as a M.A. in Education from Central Michigan University. I am also certified in Gifted Education, Advanced Placement English, Advanced Placement Language, and Advanced Placement Art History.  I love teaching and exploring evolving aspects of life and literature while focusing on building essential skills for communication, analysis, and writing.
