Philosophy of Education	Teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. I learn a lot from the students I teach, more than I ever thought I would. Teaching involves more than just teaching your curriculum area. It’s about instilling a love for learning, teaching respect and responsibility, and giving the students the tools needed to believe in themselves, think for themselves and make good decisions. I entered the education profession because I wanted to make a positive difference in the lives of young people. I had some great teachers when I was in high school, ones that highly influenced my decision to go into the education field. I hope my classroom is an atmosphere where trust, respect and caring all exist.
Personal Information	I just got married in June. My husband is a science teacher, football coach, and track coach. I have one older sister who is married and has one daughter and one son. I have one younger sister who is still in high school. I also have one younger brother who is still in high school. In our spare time, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our families, watching and participating in sporting events, and shopping. My favorite movies are: 8 Seconds, Hitch, and Sweet Home Alabama. My favorite meal is chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes.
