A Little About Me
Before becoming a teacher, I actually worked in Veterinary Medicine for 15 years. I loved working with animals but felt a calling to become a teacher so, here I am! I was a substitute teacher for a year and a half before going back to ASU to pursue my degree in Education. During that time, I learned how special a classroom full of kids can be and how much of an impact I can have on their lives and them on mine. I love being a teacher!
More importantly, I love the fact that I am a mother to two amazing kids. I have a 15 year old son and 12 year old daughter. They inspire me everyday and have encouraged me along the way in my journey to becoming a teacher. My husband, who I have been married to for 18 years, has been my rock during this process and supported me in so many ways. I love my family and couldn't have become a teacher without them.
As I mentioned, I love animals! My family has 2 dogs, a 10lb Chihuahua mix that we rescued and an 80lb Boxer. We also have 2 cats that are brother and sister. I plan on having a class pet as soon as possible!
I also love sports and am very competitive. My favorite sport is without a doubt basketball, but I also enjoy football, volleyball, baseball/softball, and soccer. I am a Razorback and Red Wolf fan. I often tell people, "I was born a Razorback, but chose to be a Red Wolf." I enjoy reading in my free time, and especially love realistic or historical fiction. My favorite color is turquoise, favorite music is classic rock, favorite foods are fruits and cheese, and favorite scents are honeysuckle or fruity smells.
