Why I Became a Teacher
I’ve always loved working with students. In my earlier days of substitute teaching and working in the library, I would leave work each day with a smile thinking about the funny stories I heard and conversations I had throughout the day with students. I knew that being a teacher was something I wanted to pursue and have loved every minute of it.
My Hobbies and Interests
I have a husband and two little kids, and we are living the farm life. In my spare time I like to read (Harry Potter is my go-to). We all love going to Disneyland!
