I can't believe I have been teaching for 18 years! I have worked as a BSI instructor, a third grade, fourth grade, and second grade teacher. I love teaching. Teaching the whole child, including socio-emotinal learning is so important. Instilling a love of learning is a gift that we all see a tremendous return on. Parents are the first teacher to their children. Now more than ever a partnership in learning is crucial. I so appreciate parents facilitating learning while remote.  I am a wife and mother. I have many pets and love animals. I enjoy signing and music.
