I am currently in my 20th year at Jefferson Middle School, and this year I will be teaching 8th grade language arts and social studies.  This is the only school I have worked in, and I don't see myself going anywhere else!  I enjoy my students, my coworkers, and feeling like a part of the Jefferson community.  

At JMS I am involved in 8th grade promotion, 8th Grade Takeover, and I am co-advisor for the WEB program.  I also run the Gotcha store after school.

Outside of school I enjoy traveling - I have seven states left to get to, and two major league baseball parks.  I also enjoy visiting historical sites, especially related to the Civil War (that's a field in Gettysburg behind me in the picture).  And if you like Star Wars, we would have a lot to talk about!
