Teacher Biography:

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Gender Studies from Brenau University in 1999. I then began working as a loan officer and manager for many years before taking a job as a teacher at Huntington Learning Center. This position ignited a love of teaching and inspired me to return to school to earn my Master of Arts degree in Middle Grades Education. I look forward to a long and rewarding career as an educator!

Persuasion in action

President John F. Kennedy was able to inspire a nation with his Inaugural Address on January 20, 1961. His speech persuaded citizens to put aside personal desires and selfishness for the good of the entire country.

Each week I will feature a different individual who changed the course of history, for good or ill, through the use of persuasive speech and/or writing.
