About Me
I became a teacher for two major reasons. I am honored to say that I have grown up in a family of teachers that are truly passionate about what they do. My father was an educator for over 35 years and inspired 3 of my siblings, as well as myself, to become educators. The second reason I was inspired to begin teaching was because I had the chance to travel to Uganda, Africa, to volunteer at various orphanages, churches, and schools. This eye-opening experience opened my heart to teach in Washington during the school year and travel back to Africa during the summer to continue teaching and helping the children there. I believe learning is a life-long process and it is so rewarding as a teacher to witness and nurture the academic and, most importantly, spiritual growth of our students.
My hobbies include singing, sketching, painting, hiking, gardening and traveling. I also love working with animals and had opportunities to work as a dog trainer and veterinary assistant before I began teaching. My family and I have been writing and playing music together since 2010 and have played at various churches over the years and have always loved singing about our amazing God. Our grandpa was a pastor for most of his life and my family was always highly involved in the church, so we were privileged to learn about God at an early age and grow in our love for Him over the years.
