TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Short and long term subbing for over 12 years inspired and motivated me to return to school at the age of 49 to get my teaching certificate. With two small children and absent from college life for years took its toll, however the process was well worth it! I love having my own classroom and working with some special colleagues and supportive, talented teachers.
