I believe students learn best when they are shown exactly how to do something and are given a path to follow. As an educator, it's my job to teach them how to use different skills and strategies to be successful , life-long learners. I believe when a student feels confident because they understand what they are doing, they are capable of achieving any goal that they set. It is my job to ensure that they gain that confidence and knowledge to achieve their goals.

I love my dogs! I spend a lot of time with them because I have 4! I enjoy working out and running. I LOVE going on vacation to a warm beach, and I believe investing in experiences as a family are more important than objects! I love to read books of all different genres! I have been married for almost 22 years, and I have two sons. My oldest son, Jacob, will be 20 in April, and my son, Isaac, is almost 15. I enjoy spending time with my family as much as possible.
