My job is the best I could have ever chosen! My days are filled with children who enjoy learning new things and are not afraid to make a few mistakes along the way. I have been teaching fourth grade for ten years and absolutely love working with children. I am also married and have two wonderful boys; Casey (19), and Jared (13). My own children have taught me so much about how to work with students and see them as individuals with their own sets of joys and struggles. Watching a child succeed at something for the first time is the best part of my job!
