Presidential Scholars Program’s Distinguished Teacher Please list awards/honors/achievements you have received as an educator that you would like to include. I love what I do it motivates me, inspires me to do more! I love when students have success and understand that they can build on that success for an amazing future! This is the main reason that I have not retired, even though I am eligible. I love learning, and passing on that passion to others is something that I feel called to do. The desire to teach was something that I found I loved early in life playing school with my friends. I have taught in three different states (my husband was military) and a great variety of classes and students. I have been involved in education for 31 years. How many years have you been an educator? For the Edge I teach all science classes for grades 6-12 from Physical Science to AP Biology. I also teach part time for the Elmore County Virtual School the Edge. The classes I teach this year are Robotics Applications, Introduction to Robotics, AP Physics and AP Computer Science. It is part of the Elmore County School District. I am starting my 25 th year at Wetumpka High School, a public school of about 1,200 students located in the City of Wetumpka, Alabama.

She also is coach and teacher for the Wetumpka High School STEAM Machine robotics student organization, who recently completed a community service project that modified a motorized car to help the mobility needs of a 2-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. " I love learning, and passing on that passion to others is something that I feel called to do." CAP's Rocketry STEM Kit helped her school start a rocketry program. After playing school with her friends as a young girl, she always wanted to be a teacher. She became a Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education Member (AEM) five years ago after learning about the program from another teacher.
