I have wanted to be a teacher since first grade and love my profession!
My classroom experience ranges from lower elementary through adult education (even in the prisons!) and includes head teacher, substitute, aide, GED teacher, and ESL teacher and tutor. As the years creep by, I have been privileged to reap the intangible rewards of friendship with my students and their parents. I have watched my students take up the torch and make a difference. I am grateful to have been called to service!

Working with children is a grand privilege! Their lively ways invigorate me, and I enjoy investing in each one, academically, emotionally, and spiritually. My degree in Elementary Education has spawned my experience in several areas: classroom teaching, individual and group tutoring, homeschooling, Spanish interpreting, and teaching Spanish to adults and children. I look forward to helping your child reach his/her highest potential and highest calling.

Children have always been my passion! I started working with children at the early age of 14 and continue to do so. Personally, it is my highest honor to nurture and guide these delicate minds spiritually, academically and socially. I have been blessed to teach for His service in the classroom and later in our own nest, homeschooling our three children. In my career, I have worked with children of different grade levels, with ESE and ESOL students, as a teacher mentor, and a Dean of Students. It is my goal and privilege to enrich your child’s education and prepare them for life, but more importantly is my earnest desire to help prepare desire to help prepare them to meet Jesus and live with Him forever! Isaiah 54:13.
