As a 12 year teaching veteran in the subjects of Mississppi Public Schools, I am excited about the opportunity that the NCTA has afforded me with the trip to Japan in July. My home is Brandon, MS. This is my 6th year teaching at Rosa Scott School in Madison, MS. As a member of the National Council on Geographic Education, I went last fall to the annual conference in Puerto Rico as a presenter on the topic of "World Trade and Geography." Currently I am single and in the process of building a home in the country where I enjoy hiking, nature photography and occasionally go rafting. While in Madison County Schools, I have been to 2 National Council for the Social Studies Conferences and served as a delegate for their governing body. Some of my other professional duties have been in serving as President of the Mississippi Council for the Social Studies in 2008 and their Teacher of the Year in 2003-2004 school year. Rosa Scott School is a 9th grade school that I currently teach World Geography within both semesters. Our school was named in 2009 as the Business Week Magazine "Best High School in Mississippi."
