There is not another job on Earth that I can imagine doing. Teaching is my calling. My classroom is my home away from home. I want my students to feel that way about our classroom, too.
I am a 26-year veteran teacher with experiences ranging from Kindergarten to 4th grades and even some college. I have my Master's Degree and my National Board Certification.
On a personal note, I have been married for 21 years. I have a dog named Casey, but I have no children of my own, so my students become my family in my heart. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, cycling, gardening, traveling, and most outdoor adventures.
