What do you like to do with your free time away from your children – I am very much an old soul, and I love to quilt and sew and crochet and read when I have time.
The brains behind her job
Why did you choose to be a teacher? – I have told my mom since I was in 5th grade that I wanted to be a teacher and to go back, I’m not sure what it was, I was just drawn to it. I enjoyed school, I liked the learning aspect of school and the social aspect of it as well. I was very chatty in elementary school but very focused in during high school. I chose math, I think because of how my brain works and there was an answer and there was a way to work it forward and backwards to make sure you knew where you were going and what you are getting for an answer and I also wanted to work with kids and education was just a draw.
