A Little About Me
I am excited to be a first year ITRT with Rockingham County Public Schools. I previously taught kindergarten, first, and third grade for Waynesboro Public Schools for the past 7 years. After receiving my master's degree in Educational Technology I was excited for my changing role as an ITRT.
I grew up in New Jersey and moved to Virginia to attend JMU. I was an avid dancer in my youth :) and enjoy the arts.
