Summary

I have experience in the classroom, elementary and secondary, as well as special education. I also added a highly qualified Language Arts endorsement to my license. After spending 6 years in the classroom, I decided to be a stay at home mother when we started our family. Staying home was a great fit for me, but wanted to do a little more, so I started an in-home childcare for teachers children where I followed the school corporation calendar. While doing this, I really started using my creative side to make things for people. This turned into a business and continued to grow into a full-time job for me. With all of these positions under my belt, I feel I have a lot of experience to offer from an educational and business standpoint.
