Michelle White
Hi, I’m Michelle White and I have worked at Westlawn since 2016 as a classroom teacher and a Special Education Support Teacher. I have taught second grade, fourth grade, and for the past 2 years I have worked as a Special Education Support Teacher in the Sixth Grade. This year, I am excited to be teaching Health and Social Emotional Education to All of Our students, grades K-6.
Some background on me, I graduated from George Mason University (GMU) with my Undergraduate degree in Anthropology and a Graduate degree in Master of Education (PreK-6). I am the proud daughter of a United States Marine. Growing up, I attended 13 schools across the United States. When I’m not working with students, I enjoy sleeping, cooking or baking, spending time with my family, watching tv shows and movies at home with my boyfriend and our two cats: Edmond and Lacey.
