#WHY I TEACH ~ YOU!

I believe in life-long learning! I love learning new things; passing my enthusiasm & passion on to others. I love being a part of my students "ah - ha" moments. I love what my students teach me. My students inspire me to be my best.

I believe in the youth of today and the impact they will have on our world of tomorrow. I am blessed to be a part of the molding of minds, character, and leadership.

I want to exude the light & hope that someone needs when the path gets dark. I love being a cheerleader in my students lives; both successes and failures.

This year is my 33rd year in education & I love my job, my community, my school, and my students. I am blessed beyond measure because of you!

My promise to you:

I will not give up on you!
I will extend grace always!
