About the store
I am an Evangel University alumni. The end of this school year, 2022-2023, marks my fifth year of teaching. In my 5 years of teaching, I have spent 3 of them in 4th grade and the other 2 in 5th grade. I have worn many hats from academics coach to tutor to student council sponsor. Education is my passion and calling. I could not imagine doing anything else and look forward to what year 6 has to offer!
