Hello everyone! I am so excited to be back at Oak Street! I was a para at Oak back in 2014 and began work as a certified teacher in Wichita in 2017. All I can say is that the road has taken me back home and I couldn't be more excited. I know it may sound cliche, but I thrive on relationships and having a positive learning environment that I hope feels like family for my students by the end of the year.
My husband, Joel, teaches in the district as well. We have a small "funny farm" as I like to call it and we enjoy our animals - the ducks and chickens. We also have two beautiful white dogs named Cooper and Lady. They are best friends and Lady is the protector of our flock; as she is a Great Pyrenees breed.
In my spare time, I sing at church. I have also begun to play the drums as well! It has been a life long dream of mine to start a rock band (...just kidding); but to rather incorporate an instrument because I have also loved music! I also had the fortunate experiences of dancing in ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop from the ages of 2-24.
Enough about me, I cannot wait to meet all of you and we are going to work hard and have a fantastic year!!
PS - My birthday is Aug 22 and my favorite snack is ASTRONAUT ICE CREAM!
