What inspired you to become a teacher, and what do you enjoy most about teaching your subject?

My 1st Grade teacher, Mrs. Danley, inspired me to become a teacher! I was lucky enough to have her in 1st grade, and again in 5th grade. She was always a positive light in my life and I even got to spend time with her in the summer at the river. We still keep in touch to this day! The most enjoyable thing about teaching is getting to see the student’s progress throughout the year!

What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of the classroom?

Outside of the classroom, I am busy running my children, Peyton (14) and Cael (13), around to their various activities! Soccer, wrestling, and horses take up a lot of our time on the weekends. We also have two Dachshunds, Oaklee & Reese – I love spending time with them and the rest of our family!

What was your favorite subject in school and why?

My favorite subject in elementary school was reading. I wasn’t the most accurate reader — I always read too fast and messed up but I was always one to raise my hand to read aloud to the class!

Anything else we should know about you?

Thank you for entrusting me to help your child progress in their academics!
