I'm an U.S. Air Force veteran with over 26 years of teaching experience in alternative education, and became the first teacher nationwide to earn National Board certification while teaching in a juvenile detention facility. I have mentored at least 300 teachers nationwide over the course of 26 years.
I have served as the President of the Kentucky National Board Network from 2018-2020 and as a KEA regional coordinator for NB candidate support. In 2012, I was named the Kentucky Educational Collaborative for State Agency Children’s Teacher of the Year and in 2016, was honored to be named KEA Teacher of the Year. In addition, I served on the Kentucky Department of Education’s Teacher’s Advisory Council.
I am trained to help your staff learn effective classroom management strategies that work. I am trained to lead your staff through Holocaust education curriculum. I am ready to deliver a passionate, uplifting, and inspiring keynote address.
