I moved to Pahrump, NV. When I was 12 years old and stayed there until I was 18, when I then moved back to Las Vegas. Although I spent the first 12 years of my life in Las Vegas, Pahrump is what I consider to be my hometown because of the relationships I made with the people there. All of my closest friends are from there.

I student taught in Mari's fifth grade classroom. She made student teaching such a fun and enjoyable learning experience and taught me so much. Each year, we help each other set up our classrooms. We meet up at least once a month to catch up on school life. She has five years left until she retires and keeps telling me that her goal is to have me as her administrator for at least one year. That is the goal I am working towards!

I have three of the best friends in the world! Kaylie, Cynthia, and Silvia.

Kaylie has been my best friend since I was in elementary school. She is more of sister to me than she is my friend. Kaylie's mom (in the picture to the bottom right of this section) is like my second mom. She has treated me like her own son since the day Kaylie and I met. She calls me each day to check up on me, and I am even a part of her goodnight-texts to her kids every night.

Cynthia and Silvia have been my other two best friends since the day we met in college when we were working towards our Bachelor's degree. We were in the teaching program together at Nevada State College. They were what helped me get through those four years of school, and they have been my support system throughout my teaching career!

I am extremely close to my family and am very grateful to have them. I am the third oldest of five kids (I do NOT have middle child syndrome!). I have three nieces and four nephews, five of which attend my school.

I have three dogs. Two are St. Bernards and one is a Pomeranian. I also have two cats as well! The five of them are all best friends. They all walk around the house in a group. Recently, the dogs taught the cats how to use the doggy door and the back yard, so I no longer need a litter box! My animals are extremely important to me because at the end of a very long day, I come home and see them wag their tails and immediately feel better.
