Summary

I am a highly motivated mom of 4, who has spent over a decade out of the work force to raise my family. In that time, I have volunteered hundreds of hours of time in preschool and elementary classrooms as a room mom or on PTA. Being a Bethel Elementary substitute would allow to help my children's school and would be a joy for me. My background in science and mathematics would make me a great fit.
