I am Misty Leach. I have been married for 21 years and have two teenagers. My daughter attends Pierce College and my son is almost a senior in the Puyallup School District. Our family's home includes two dogs (one is  a puppy) and a cat. Our family is originally from Florida but moved to WA in 2013. We are not military and did not have any family here at the time. My husband and I took a winter weekend trip to WA in 2013 then decided to relocate our family to Puyallup that summer.

Currently, I work with middle school students in resource, effective math, and effective reading classrooms at Ford Middle School as a LAP Paraeducator.

I began working in schools in 2016 as an Emergency Substitute Teacher then I decided to go back to school to become a certificated K-8 Teacher. Since 2020, I have worked with students as a Resource Paraeducator, Math Teacher, 4th Grade Teacher, Substitute Teacher, and LAP Paraeducator. I enjoy working with students in small group and 1:1 instruction. As a K-8 or SPED Teacher, I believe it will be important to have this endorsement to provide students in an inclusive or SPED classroom with the support and accommodations they will need to be successful.

As a Florida native, one of my favorite places to be is the beach. In WA, I enjoy going to the lake kayaking and paddle boarding with my family. I spend a lot of my time enjoying my family at home. I like to play card and board games, put together puzzles, and do art projects with my daughter. Most recently, I started planting a small garden with her and my husband. Although I sing off key and don't play any instruments, one of my favorite things to do is listen to music and sing aloud.

As a student, I am organized and detail-oriented. In addition, I am a visual and tactile learner. I learn best from seeing and doing.

I would be a Pug. I would want to understand how my pet feels each time it breathes. The Pug has so many problems breathing due to the size of its nose. I would want to be able to relate to how she feels to not be able to breath like the other dog we have. How she can not run and play like the other dog due to her breathing problems.

Spending time with my college daughter is one of my favorite past times. A few things we love together - coffee and Friends. As a holiday gift, I took her to the Friends Experience in Seattle. We had a lot of fun on the different sets from the show and taking pictures.
