What inspired you to become a teacher, and what do you enjoy most about teaching your subject?
I have always loved working with kids. I was working as a Special Ed Aide and the teacher I worked with encouraged me to get my teaching credential, because I worked so well with all of the students. So I did and I have loved teaching ever since! I love watching the light bulb go off when students understand the lesson being taught and they suddenly “get it!” That is why I teach. I want to see that light bulb go off in every one of my students!
I enjoy teaching Language Arts to elementary students, because we get to read such fun stories and do some great activities and projects to go along with the story. I really like teaching young children good writing skills, so they can carry them on with them in their future studies and hopefully they will become really good writers.
What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of the classroom?
Things I do to do outside of the classroom are: spend time with my son; go to the beach; and take pictures. I love taking pictures of anything or anyone, or at events! I am the “photographer” at any event or gathering I attend. People will ask me to take pictures and share them with them, because I take really good pictures!
What was your favorite subject in school and why?
My favorite subject in school varied. In lower elementary it was math. In upper elementary, it was history. In high school and college, it was writing.
Anything else we should know about you?
My favorite color is yellow!
