Why did you decide to teach?
"I come from a family of teachers. My mother is a retired teacher, my sister is a teacher. I guess you could say it is in our blood. But teaching was not my first choice in college. It was only after I returned home from Wright State University that I found a love for teaching. Working in the schools with children I felt a sense of ease and belonging. I had found my passion. With this decision I would continue my education, acquiring an additional degree in teaching and later a Masters in Education. I still remember the day I found out I got the teaching position at PHS. ACOVSD was going through an unprecedented time, I have always said and will always believe that God placed me exactly where I was meant to be. So seventeen years later here I am, continuing to follow God's path and do what I love, teach."
Why teach at Peebles?
"I teach at Peebles High School, because there is simply no place like home."

Favorite quote?
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me". " -Erma Bombeck
