Hello! I am overjoyed to lead such a wonderful team of elementary EL teachers. I have worked with ELs in DeSoto County for many years and am transitioning from being the EL Specialist over secondary schools to elementary schools this year. I love languages, the state of Mississippi, and roller coasters. Contact me with questions about elementary EL at any time!
