Educational Philosophy
A student-centered education with real-world implications and a genuine care for the students are important aspects of my philosophical outlook regarding education. I feel 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 gives the students many opportunities to become interested and engaged in a myriad of subject matter 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, I feel it is important to show a genuine interest and care for the students as this will help to build a trust between educator and student that will ultimately lead 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 16 years, and I look forward to what the future holds for me personally and our school system in general.
