I have wanted to be a teacher since I could talk! I've taught every grade at some point in my career and love them all in their own way, but I am particularly fond of elementary education and gifted and talented education. It is amazing to come to work every day and help these little ones grow!
I do a lot of hands-on activities with my students to really get them involved and excited about learning. I focus on higher order thinking in my classroom and really push my students to learn something new. I also provide materials to other classroom teachers to aid them in teaching their gifted learners.

I have three children - one tiny girl, one in elementary, and one in middle school. They are the absolute light of my life! I have a very loving and supportive husband that I simply couldn't live without. :)
