sewing, growing succulents, spending time with my family
I was born with the love to teach and to be an encouragement to young children. Volunteering in the church nursery as a teenager brought me joy and helped pave my path to teaching. I'm a wife and a mom to 3 amazing teens! I enjoy being creative and love DIY home projects. Sewing and growing succulents are favorite wise of relaxing.
