Summary
I was a severe/profound special education preschool teacher for 2 years before I stayed home with my own children. I have been a teacher either at home or at church ever since. I love to work with kids and help them to grow. I also have experience working in an office environment as I have been doing our landscaping business' paperwork and finances for over 20 years. I am also a treasurer for a non-profit group called, Isaiah 117 House. Isaiah 117 House is a home for children to go to after they are removed from their home to be lavishly loved on before they are taken to foster care. I care deeply about this organization as it helps so many kiddos on their worst days.
