    A little about me!
    • I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in second grade.  My teacher Mrs. Peggy Jenkins was amazing, and I wanted to be just like her!

    • I love food!  My favorite food is anything Italian!  I love making and going out for some good Italian food!

     

    • I LOVE the STEELERS! 

     

     
    • I consider my students as my children.  When people ask me how many kids I have, I usually will say 25.  I feel I am their mom away from mom.  

    • The best compliment I can get is when a student calls me mom...and of course, I answer!  :-)
