As a paraprofessional, over the years I have worked with Pre K through 5th grade. Despite the gaps in age, I have come to realize that the support and encouragement the kids need are the same,...on different levels, but still the same.

My goal on the daily is to pour as much encouragement into the students I work with and uplift them when they seem to feel discouraged. Whether it may be during a lesson or an emotional moment they may experience, the student should know they are being heard and supported.

No one ever said life would be easy but when you set your mind to reach a goal, the gain will have been worth the hard work you put in. (Message to the student and note to self.) Everyday comes with a new challenge and goal to meet. We are never too old to learn.

As an individual I wear my heart on my sleeve and always strive to place my best foot forward. I love to smile, make others laugh. As you get to know me, you will quickly learn that everything is lyrical. A song comes to mind with almost anything one states. A smile makes a world of a difference.

Favorite Quote: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto to you". This is a bible verse found in the book of Matthew and Luke, and is also known as a Golden Rule to live by.

Favorite Book: The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton
