While a lot of my Income was earned outside of early childhood classrooms My personal experience of raising 5 children and running a successful business is where I pulled my most strengths. I am someone who works well under pressure and can see strengths and weaknesses and build upon them. I pride myself on Raising a large family and being a aunt to over 20 nieces and nephews. It was like having my own school where we made time for fun days for learning and creativity. there was a stent in my children's upbringing where we homeschooled through Abeka curriculum . I taught 1st grade, 3rd grade, 5thgrade, and 7th grade. this was one of my favorite times in Life. Hard working, encouraging, and determined are some of the attributes I possess.
