My experience I’ve been teaching for 9 years. I taught 3 rd grade and 4 th grade. I was also a Reading Specialist. I love to have fun and laugh, but learning must come first. My background I grew up in Old Fields and that is where I currently live. I attended Shepherd University, West Virginia University, and I am now attending Salem International University.
