Bio
Although my BA is in English, I am a certified Business Education and Special Education teacher and I have been teaching for 12 years. I was employed for 10 years at Prairiland High School. Four of those years were spent in the Special Education Department as a paraprofessional, which is where I also did my student teaching. After graduating I was hired to teach Business classes while beginning college once again to obtain my certification to teach in that subject area. During my time at Prairiland I also taught numerous other subjects such as, Applied English, World History and FCCLA classes and was the Student Council Advisor for 4 years. My next 5 years were spent teaching at Mount Vernon High School where I was able to venture out in several other Business classes that I had been interested in teaching. I then moved to North Lamar High School for the convenience of being in my hometown of Paris, TX. There, I still held to my Business expertise but also ventured out into specific Technology classes. I decided to pursue my Masters degree, therefore I have taken a year off to begin my education in Education Technology. Having been some time since I had attended college, I thought I needed to extra time to be able to get back in the swing of things without the stress of trying to work at the same time. So, here I am at TAMU-Commerce creating a blog for my ETEC class. I hope to start back to work this next school year and continue my studies towards my Masters in Educational Technology.
