I have been teaching for more than ten years, experiencing various ages, disciplines, and grades.  I began my career assisting in a preschool and facilitating art activities with three-year-olds.   Later, I spent five years teaching 5th grade.  I really enjoyed teaching this age group, where the students were becoming more independent and accountable for their education.   I loved the challenge of motivating a hesitant or struggling learner and keeping each student engaged. 

Presently, I am teaching in the same school for my tenth year.  For the past five years I have had the pleasure of teaching Kindergarten.  This has been and continues to be a most rewarding experience for me.  Because my love for learning began in my earliest years of education, I enjoy every moment of making the primary years a memorable experience for my students.  I love observing my students while they work, and enjoy watching them grow and develop into critical thinkers and problem solvers.

I am excited to continue my adventures in teaching, as I take on new challenges and accept new responsibilities.  There is nothing I would rather do with my life than teach!
