I became a teacher because I enjoy working with children and making a difference. My favorite food is Mac & Cheese!

I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher. I always knew how much I liked helping others and couldn't wait to have a job where I could do so! My favorite color is purple and my favorite thing to do is to spend time with my family or go shopping!

A quote that I like to incorporate into my teaching is "If a child leaves my classroom with new skills-I've done my job. If a child leaves my classroom knowing they are loved and accepted for who they are, I've reached my goal." I want to be a positive light for children.

I became a teacher because I have always liked to help other people. I used to say that I didn't want to be a teacher, because it felt like everyone in my family was a teacher. But, when I was in high school and college, I really enjoyed working and teaching kids.

I became a teacher because I love helping students and building relationships. Fun fact: I love water sports and Ohio State football!

I have been teaching in Bellaire for 23 years. One of my favorite quotes is : "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn" - Benjamin Franklin

I love working with children. I love working in Bellaire! Aside from this being my alma mater, I also love that I get to be with my own children each day while at work.

I became a social worker because my heart is filled by supporting others and I just felt a certain energy that pulled me in that direction.

I have always loved kids and working with them. I started out on the path of speech pathologist and moved to elementary education. One fun fact about me is that I love polka dances!
