What led you to teaching?

I grew up watching my mother teach, and I learned early on that education is an expression of love. I believe we have an obligation to follow Jesus' command to love one another, and teaching is my way of loving others.

What are your hobbies?

I love reading, gardening, and crafting (especially when there is glitter involved!)
