Role in Education: 4th Grade Teacher
Additional Roles or Responsibilities: I am part of our Culture Committee where we plan events for staff and students throughout the school year.

Volunteer Roles: I volunteer at Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine each year. It’s a wonderful event for people with special needs.
What is your favorite thing about being an educator? I love seeing my students grow from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. It’s fun to watch them mature socially and academically.
What are you looking forward to this school year? I am currently teaching in a brand-new school, so I am looking forward to seeing new friendships form between students and staff of the two former elementary schools. I am also looking forward to making new memories and traditions in our new facility!
Favorite Teacher Store event or memory? I enjoyed getting to mingle with other teachers at Big Grove last spring!
Favorite school supply item of all time? My favorite school supplies are Paper Mate Flair Pens and Post-it notes.
