Besides my classroom experiences, being a military wife has brought me to new places and has armed me with the knowledge of the joys and unique difficulties that military families experience. My husband and I welcomed our daughter Adeline (Addy for short) in November of 2018, and being a first time mom, I believe, has helped me to be a better teacher. I try to be the teacher I hope my own daughter will have one day - I strive to be kinder, more patient, more balanced, and more efficient every day.
