Why did you decide to become a teacher?

I decided I wanted to become a teacher in third grade when I had a really loving and influential teacher myself. Like my third grade teacher, I strive to help my students feel safe, loved, encouraged, and enthusiastic about learning new things.

What do you like most about teaching?

I love witnessing my students have "aha moments."  I love showing my students that learning is fun and exciting.  I also love to have those heart to heart conversations about how mistakes are a part of the learning process, that everyone has different talents to help make the world a better place, and that your heart can lead you to know what is right or wrong if you learn how to listen to it. I love building a family community in my classroom, where learning is sometimes messy, where we all help each other using our specific strengths, and where we believe in second.

What hobbies do you enjoy in your free time?

I love spending time with my family, hiking, kayaking, swimming, and reading in my spare time.

Why did you decide to become a teacher?

 

I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in kindergarten! I always enjoyed being a student and had some amazing teachers growing up in the Garfield Re2 school system that inspired me to pursue my dreams. I also love working with students and helping them to grow socially, emotionally, and academically! I am lucky to have a job I love going to every day!

 

What do you like most about teaching?

 

I love helping students grow and building strong relationships to meet their unique needs. This is my 17th year working for Garfield Re-2, and every year I learn and grow to be a better teacher for my students. I enjoy that every child is different and that I can help them achieve their goals.

 

What hobbies do you enjoy in your free time?

 

My husband and I have two beautiful toddlers, and I love spending time with my family. My hobbies these days normally include playing hide and seek, riding bikes, going to the park and pool, reading books to my children, playing with PlayDoh, etc., and I love every minute of it! My family and I also enjoy camping, hiking, and I love to dance.
