Q: Tell us about yourself. What do you do? Briefly, what has been your educational and/or career path? 

A: I am currently in my 18th year as a DC Public Schools educator.  Early in my career, I taught grades 3-5, reading, math, science, and social studies.  As the District's strategy for elementary education shifted, I focused on teaching math and science.  I am currently a math interventionist and professional development leader at Lawrence E. Boone Elementary School.  I also serve as Boone's Athletic Director, where we are fielding cross country and outdoor track teams for the first time this year.
