Teaching style
I'm in an eternal quest for a paperless classroom. Well, not completely. Even though I enjoy and encourage teaching and learning using digital resources, my teacher heart can't let go of Astrobrights and Gel Pens.
My own education history
I have a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and a Masters in Business Administration. I get to merge both in the amazing world of Teacherpreneurship!
Additional biographical information
I have a 10 year old Son who keeps me on my toes. A widow to a wonderful man who inspired me to keep going and calmed me down when I most needed it.
