I started working at Norfolk Public Schools in September 1976. I began as a paraprofessional and continued to work in this capacity for twelve years at Tidewater Park Elementary School. I then served as a Student Data Specialist at Diggs Park Elementary School. I was transferred to Campostella Elementary as an Office Manager and retired after thirty-eight years of service. I was asked to return to Booker T Washington High as a Guidance Secretary. I am currently working at James Monroe Elementary School and enjoy the interactions with the staff, children, and families.
