This is my second year with the district as an 8th grade Communication Arts teacher. My teaching motto is simply,"If I can't have fun teaching it, then the students can't have fun learning it." I have been married for 11 years, and we have 4 beautiful children. It makes for a busy life, but ultimately one that is also fulfilling. I ran from teaching for a very long time, but now I am glad that I listened to that small voice who encouraged me to give it a try.
