Summary

After 12 fulfilling years of teaching, I decided to take a break and have a family. Having this time at home is such a blessing, but as my kids are entering middle school and wrapping up their elementary years, I feel a constant pull to return to the classroom. While at home, I have pursued volunteer opportunities that have maintained my connection with children and work to strengthen our school community. I'm excited by the prospect of having my own classroom again, and working to inspire, challenge and teach a whole new group of students.
