All About Me
-
There was a day when I was in kindergarten too.
I was born in Brooklyn, New York and had three younger sisters. The month of September was always a favorite month for me. I loved the excitement of new school supplies, new teachers, and learning. After graduating from high school, I attended Taylor University in Indiana. I discovered that learning at the college level was even more rewarding. I transferred to Elmhurst College in Illinois the following year. After finishing two years, I was unsure of which direction I should take with my formal education. I began to pursue work experiences to help define my calling in life.
I married Steve and had four beautiful daughters. Brittany, Abbey, Victoria, and Mikayla. As my family developed, I invested each day in the nurture and care of my children. I observed, first hand, the stages of the developing mind of a child. I actively participated in introducing new concepts and supporting the intellectual and social growth of my children. Assisting children to learn became my passion. When Mikayla started kindergarten in 2002, I was given the opportunity to develop these gifts and talents in the kindergarten classroom at Rockwell Elementary School. Through this experience, I know that my calling in life is to facilitate the learning of young children.In 2006, I returned to school and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Education.My family-2013"Tell me and I forget.
