Who/What inspired you to go into education?
My third grade teacher Mrs. Goldsberry, and my 6th grade teacher Mrs. Ehmann. These ladies made me love school and I wanted to be just like them! Also, I wanted the perfect mom job that would let me be home when my kids are.
What you do when you aren't at school:
You can typically find me on the sideline of one of my kids' games, or driving them to and from their many practices. We spend a lot of time on the soccer field or at the dance studio, the gymnastics gym, and the training gym. When I get a moment to myself, I enjoy going to movies and long bubble baths!
Favorite quote/philosophy:
When given the choice between being right or being kind, chose kind!
Favorite book:
I love a good mystery novel by Mary Higgins Clark, and I also love the Fablehaven series!
Something interesting about you:
There is not much I would call interesting, but I have now been a teacher for the same amount of time I was not a teacher. I have been married for 20 years to my husband Kelly, and I have 4 kids. Penny is 7, Sam is 11, Nic is 14, Landon is 17 and my cute goldendoodle Millieis almost 1.
