The Gifted Coordinator works with teachers and students to provide services for identified students.  Additional responsibilities include evaluating students in grades K-5 who may qualify for these services and keeping parents informed of their child's status.

My name is Brenda Mash.  I am a native of Montgomery County and have degrees/endorsements from both Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia.  I live with my husband and our two daughters.  We enjoy doing things as a family such as traveling, reading, and watching the Atlanta Braves play.  I have enjoyed teaching since I began in Roanoke City in 1990.  I have been in gifted education since 1996 and started as a Gifted Resource Teacher in Montgomery County in 2003.  It's very exciting to be able to come back to the schools I attended as a child and be able to give back to them.
