About

I am a mother of 3 and my husband is a disabled Veteran who served in Afghanistan twice. During the pandemic while my children were at home, I felt like their virtual work was not really teaching them anything new. So I turned our dining room into a classroom and after they finished their school work everyday we would have the "Covid Classroom" (their name not mine). When they went back to school, I was happy and excited for them but I felt like something was missing. So, after 10 years of being a mom and working in Marketing, I went back to school to become a teacher. This decision was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself and my family. I can't wait to start making a positive impact on my students' lives!
