A little bit about me

Birthday: July 2

My best advice for students is:

Travel and see the world, meet people!

The single most important person that made a positive impact on my life when I was a teenager was:

My grandmother, Eva Carney. Teacher and school administrator, she was patient, kind, loving, and inspired by the beauty around her. 

Teaching has taught me about myself, and the way people learn by:

Encouragement and positivity opens doors in your brain and makes learning easier. 

I wanted to become a teacher since:

Having children of my own made me want to spend more time around young people. I love kids of all ages but especially teens. 

I choose to teach at a Christian school because:

I love having an opportunity to see God at work in young lives. I love the support and guidance of my fellow Christian teachers and administrators. I feel like this is part of God's plan for my life. 

My most embarrassing moment in high school was: 

Soon after getting my driver's license, I was backing out of my friend's driveway with a box of Wheat Thins in my lap. I guess it hampered my steering abilities because I heard a loud CRASH and realized I had backed right into the side of her family's car!

In high school my life was like:

I loved learning but hated homework. I was a procrastinator who crammed the night before a test. I enjoyed my circle of friends and we still are in touch to this day.
