A total of 37 graduating students will be recognized this weekend for outstanding academic achievement by the College of Education and Human Development at George Mason University.

She was "thrilled and proud" to receive this recognition from her program of study:

"One of the best parts of the program was being able to collaborate with other professionals from various schools and school districts. I have learned many best practices along the way, and I enjoy implementing them in my classroom.

"The professors are knowledgeable and I truly appreciate the professors and this program for pushing me to be a better educator!"
