I have a classroom of primary students, many of which are from low income families. Our school has been opened now for 4 years and we are working hard to acquire the technology that we need to give these students every opportunity to learn.

Employment History:
I started working in high school for the YMCA childcare in my local community. I had a passion for working with children and knew in fourth grade that I was going to become a teacher. When I graduated, I got my first teaching position at Roby Elementary in Bullitt county as a second grade teacher. After two years I moved to a brand new school in the county and am currently in my fourth year working there.
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I have a passion for working with children and showing them what they can do. I enjoy seeing children become readers, writiers, and mathematicians. The look on the face of a child that has just solved a problem on their own or read a complete book themselves makes my job a wonderful experience.
