Educational Philosophy
A student-centered education with real-world implications and genuine care for students is central to my philosophical outlook. It is important to teach our students how to be successful citizens. To ensure this happens, a well-rounded curriculum that teaches to the whole student and provides students with many opportunities to become interested in and engaged with a myriad of subjects is paramount. This means that we must tailor our curriculum and teaching style to the students to help ensure that we connect with a diversified classroom. Also, it is important to show genuine interest and care for students, as this will help build trust between educators and students, ultimately leading to academic success.

Personal
I have grown up in Blount County my entire life, so I know very well the prestige that comes with being a member of the Alcoa family. I have had the privilege of teaching at Alcoa High School for the past 20 years, and I look forward to what the future holds for me personally and our school system in general.
