    Hello Students and Parents.  I am excited for the opportunity to connect with students and our Hampton community via virtual learning. 
     
     
    Biography: 
     
    I started teaching in in 2005 after graduating from Fayetteville State University in North Carolina with a BA in Teaching Secondary Social Studies. I spent 10 years teaching in a high school in North Carolina and moved to help open Hampton High School the inaugural year. Currently I serve as a classroom teacher, NHS chair and girl's flag football assistant coach. In 2014 I earned a MS in Political Science. I enjoy teaching because I love the content and truly enjoy helping young people develop into the best versions of themselves. Teaching is more than a profession; it is a self-identity. When I am not working with students I enjoy; reading, exercising, traveling and most of all spending time with my family. My daughter, Arabella, is the center of my world and I am sure you will all see her pop up in Google Meets. I am excited for the newest educational challenge of virtual learning. I pride myself in developing positive and sustainable relationships with students and coworkers.

Teachers will continue to follow Henry Teaching and Learning Standards (HTLS) and Henry Learning Progressions (HLP). During the time of remote learning, teachers are expected to assign work to be produced and graded daily and to provide feedback on instructional tasks/assignments within a reasonable timeframe to all students as they complete and submit assignments electronically. It is expected that CFAs and Benchmarks will continue as planned.  Teachers will continue to utilize district and teacher instructional resources to assist with instructional tasks and additional support for learning.
