I decided right out of college that I needed an adventure so I packed up my car and moved to Arizona, where I taught 3rd grade for 2 years.

One of my favorite things to do in my free time is play rugby. I am a flanker for the Northeast Irish Women's Rugby Club. We just recently won our D3 championship and have moved up to D2.

I also very much enjoy working on my olympic lifts and strength at my local Crossfit gym. It is also a GREAT stress reliever on those hard days at work

When I am home I love hanging out with my dog Libby, and cuddling up with a nice book to read

My goal is to say in the classroom for a few more years to continue gaining experience. I would also like to go back to school again to receive my reading certification.

Eventually I would like to exit out of the classroom and become a coach for struggling or new teachers

I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as i can remember! I love how curious children are, and their drive to learn and explore.

I always enjoyed school growing up, and the more I observed in classrooms the more I realized that many children don't seem to have that love anymore. As a teacher my goal is to bring that back and have them enjoy coming to school everyday.
