Biographical Sketch

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. BF Skinner

When I became an educator, I quickly realized that I had forgotten much of what I had learned in school while I was practicing in the profession. It became evident that learning was a process that must continue throughout life. Through the years, not only have I tried to provide the knowledge required for students to be successful in their profession, but also to provide the realization that learning will not cease when they walk across the stage at graduation. The knowledge gained during school, along with continuing education and experiences following school, will construct the professionals they become. It all starts with education… the foundation for building knowledge throughout life.
