Tell us a little about you
This is my first year back in the classroom full-time after a twenty-year break (I had oral cancer and could not spend a full day talking, so I left for a more quiet profession: I worked in the library field for two decades.) I teach Algebra One (honors and college prep) at the Allegro Charter School for Music, which is an immersion school within the Charleston County School District. As I am also a musician this is a great fit. Additionally, I sponsor our club-level basketball program. We have an amazingly-diverse student population that manages to surprise me every day. I have two children who are seniors: one in high school and one in college. In my free time I play a little basketball and tennis, make a little music, and host a weekly show on the local community radio station.
