I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was eight years old. This dream
of becoming a teacher came about when I had a second grade teacher who was a little different than the
rest. I knew whole heartedly she cared about my personal success and most
importantly….ME! She made our lessons so much fun that I would go home and teach
my pretend class the same lessons each day. Today I have the opportunity of
being that special teacher for my students. I get to show children that learning
is an adventure and I get the privilege of leading the expeditions and join in
all the fun! My passion for learning and love for life is contagious to my
students and the smiling faces of happy students are my daily reward. I believe
learning should be fun and invoke lasting memories that help lead to a life long
love of learning.

I love my family, teaching, seeing students smile, the
outdoors, horses, camping trips, kayaking, and traveling.
