Summary

I knew when I was 6 years old that I wanted to be a teacher and mother and have been navigating both roles for the past 20 years in several different capacities, both full-time and part time. As our family has grown and we have moved for my husband's career, I have taken time off to help our family adjust. I have been very fortunate to be called by the principals of my kids' schools to come and work in different ways. You will quickly see that I love children! I am passionate about helping students learn and grow. I have had great success in my career as a teacher because I truly love and care about children. I love to create environments that are JOYFUL, PEACEFUL, POSITIVE, COMPASSIONATE, ORDERLY and full of GRACE. I believe in HIGH EXPECTATIONS for students and have the PATIENCE and PERSISTENCE to help them achieve their goals.
