My own education history
With a background as a former Kindergarten teacher, TheBeezyTeacher has a passion for inspiring children to explore animals, nature, and new cultures.
Before moving to Germany, TheBeezyTeacher graduated from The University of Texas with a concentration in Special Education and a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. She attended Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas for her Masters Degree and has 30 plus years teaching experience in special education (learning disabilities), preschool children with disabilities program, and kindergarten.
Having had the opportunity to live and work in Germany for over 25 years, gave her a better understanding of global issues, historical, and current events. During her career overseas she was fortunate to be part of an organization that provides a U.S. curriculum to dependent children of US military personnel.
Additional biographical information
Recognizing a need for books that foster a love and compassion for animals while sparking creativity in children, she began writing booklets about animals. She has co-authored several published books:
- *The Rhino in Me – A Story of Friendship, Protection, and Milk Lollies*
- *Orla’s Golden Blanket – Sea Otters’ Secret to a Bright Blue Future*
- *Nyla’s Glowing Underwater Garden – A Coral Reef Adventure*
-*Opportunities for Everyone - Lessons from Keystone with STEAM & Biomimicry Activities
-*A-Z of South Africa - A World of Diversity and Culture
TheBeezyTeacher resides in Texas with her husband and cherishes her time traveling, photographing her animal friends, learning about new cultures and caring for the environment.
