I have enjoyed working with children all my life from babysitting, child care, preschool, mom, class volunteer, substituting and teaching. I have 8 children, and love being a mom. As my kids started to grow up and become more independent, I went back to school and earned my bachelor's degree in elementary teaching so that I can continue to work with children. Through my education my love of learning, teaching and children has increased as I've witnessed the light that comes when children really learn and understand. I am so excited to join the Ascent Academy Team and am invested in helping my class realize their potential both as a learner and as an individual. Third grade is the best!
