Summary

Enthusiastic teacher who has earned trust and respect from students, colleagues and administration for 13 years. However, I have been in this profession all my life. I have taught a variety of grade levels throughout my career. I taught 6th grade ELA, 5th grade, 3rd grade, and 1st grade. I loved them all. I also had the opportunity to coach girls softball and basketball for 2 of those years. This profession is definitely a calling and I enjoy every minute of it. I also can speak a little Spanish and Sign Language.
