I initially began teaching as a high school teacher of 11th and 12th graders. After about three years of that, I realized that though I loved the subject matter, that age of students was not for me. I never in a million years thought I would be an elementary school teacher, until I began tutoring part-time in an elementary school close to home, and I was hooked. I know it sounds crazy, but I love my 9-11-year-olds! I truly have a passion for helping nurture and develop these children into responsible children who will grow into responsible contributors to society.
