About Me: Hi, my name is Samantha Goodman and I live in Pahrump, Nevada. I am originally from Bakersfield, California. I have an AS in Child Development and I have a BS in Liberal Studies. I began my education obtaining my A.S. in Early Childhood Development for career advancement. I realized that I wanted to advance in to the field of public education. I then enrolled into University of Laverne, where I earned a BS in Liberal Studies. Before I began teaching in an elementary school setting I taught in early childhood for 9 years.
