Summary
I am a hard working mom who has taken time off from my career to raise my 5 children. I am ready to get back in the work force and be a full time teacher again! I am eager to learn from others and use the skills I've learned from raising my children and past teaching experience in the classroom. I love working with students and parents to create success in all areas of life for my students. I work well with others and am excited to help create a positive workplace where we can collaborate and work together to create an amazing learning environment for our school.
