Hello! I am very excited to meet you. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts degree from Ottawa University in Kansas. I taught elementary school for eight years. Prior to that, I was very active in my own children's school as a Girl Scout Leader and teacher's helper. I raised two beautiful girls and now enjoy watching them blossom as adults. I adore children and I love supporting them as they learn and grow. Teaching children has been the most rewarding career and I absolutely love it. It is a high priority of mine to provide a fun and nurturing environment so my students are confident in their learning experience. For fun, I love to read all kinds of books and I love to write for children. Currently, I am working on a fantasy fiction series. I also enjoy painting, drawing, and sewing. I stay healthy by running, lifting weights, practicing yoga, and cooking healthy meals. I love to spend time with my dogs and watching movies with my family. I can't wait to learn more about you!
