On top of my love for teaching, is a great man, the love of my life, my husband. His love and motivation always keeps me going! My mom, an educator for over 30 years, and my 2nd Grade Teacher inspired me to become a teacher. I grew up in a LARGE family and always enjoyed being around and helping my younger cousins! In college, I worked at child development centers and learned from great teachers of young children there as well! My favorite thing about teaching young children is seeing them grow throughout the year....and I love their personalities and perspectives on many subjects! They are so honest! Teaching is my passion and I strive to continue to learn and to create new things each day and to stay inspired by the children I teach!
