I'm into my 8th year teaching! 7 spent in Kindergarten and now I’ve graduated on up to 1st! Since I was in 2nd grade, I knew I wanted to spend every day of my life in a school setting influencing our future generations. I love what I do, and therefore, I have never worked a day in my life!
I take pride in hands-on learning. I truly believe that teaching is 3/4 theater! I dance, sing, create games and activities on the fly. I was voted "Biggest Little Kid" in high school; I am a kid trapped in an adults body! I know how they think and I know how to engage their little minds to flourish beyond their greatest expectations. I love art, paint, glitter, glue, etc. My expectations are always high and never lessened!
