Why did you decide to teach?
I decided to teach because I enjoy working with young people and helping them discover their strengths.
Teaching allows me to make a positive impact, not just academically, but by helping students build confidence, responsibility, and life skills they can carry beyond the classroom.
Why teach at Peebles?
Peebles is a close-knit, supportive community that truly values its school and students.
I wanted to teach somewhere I could build meaningful relationships with students and families and make a lasting difference.
Peebles is home and I’m proud to be part of this school.
Any other duties?
In addition to teaching, I serve as the Peebles FFA advisor and help with a variety of student activities and projects.
I enjoy being involved beyond the classroom and supporting students in hands-on, real-world learning experiences.

It played a big role in shaping my career path.
