Summary

Nearly all my life has revolved around caring and meeting the needs of children. As a teen, my first job was working with children during summer breaks. Also, I worked as the youth supervisor in my church. My passion for children motivated me to become a teacher. In my 35 years of working with children, I worked with diverse children of different ages, backgrounds, and abilities. I taught 5th and 6th grade Science and Social Studies, Kindergarten, and K-4th Special Education. My goal was and continues to educate all children. In addition, my aim is to build a strong and open relationship with the students, parents, and coworkers.
