I am originally from Indiana. I received my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education at Indiana University. Life experiences prevented me from really getting into teaching immediately. However, I have been working with children for a total of 14 years. My first position was as an Elementary technology teacher in Utah. From there I chose to stay home with my 2 beautiful children until my youngest was in preschool. I got a job in that same preschool and worked there with children ages 2-5 for 7 years. Needing a change, I got a job at Hull Elementary as a paraprofessional in the Special Education classroom.I was a para in that classroom for just over 5 years.  Luckily a position opened up and I took over the position of teacher of my own Special Education classroom. I completed a 2 year educational program in order to obtain my Special Education Certification.
