As an educator, I strive to instill a love for learning, provide students with appropriate skills to be lifelong learners and productive members of any community. I hold the status of a Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) of secondary level science with a Master's Degree in Education. I am also endorsed as a K-12 technology integration specialist.

Aside from being an educator, my family and I live as sustainable as possible on our homestead. We strive to make or produce as much as we can, and if there are things we can not produce for ourselves we shop locally and at second hand stores. Reducing our carbon footprint, providing for ourselves, and teaching our children to understand where their food and other products come from is highly valued.
