My first year at Lakeview Academy will be the 2015-16 school year. I previously taught at West Hall High School from 2011-2015 and I have ten years of teaching experience in Language Arts in the Gwinnett County School System. My husband, Philip Chittaro, and I have two beautiful kids who never cease to amaze me. I am very passionate about teaching and remain a student myself - constantly reading and learning about new authors and cultures. I hope to pass on this passion for literature to my students.
