ECSE AM TEACHER
Hi! I am so excited to be here at Discovery! This is my ninth year with Discovery. Before that, I was a long-term substitute teacher multiple times at various schools. Before starting my family, I worked as a school psychologist. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology and computer science at Virginia Tech. I earned my Specialist in Psychology (Psy. S.) degree from Gallaudet University in DC and my early childhood special education (ECSE) certificate from University of Lynchburg.
My family and I have lived in Ashburn for 26 years, and love it here! My husband and I have three children. All three also went to Virginia Tech! Kelsey graduated from Virginia Tech and then Marymount for a forensic and legal psychology masters degree. Sean graduated in sports marketing. Aidan is starting his senior yeat at Virginia Tech. You might see me going to VT watching my son high jump on the VT track team or tailgating at VT football games.
My class is all about fun. When my students are having fun, they want to come to school. They learn while they are having fun and playing. I also work with my families to share strategies that might help at home, and they teach me more about their child at home.
