I entered teaching through an alternative route and have never felt like I was a full-fledged member of the Teacher Tribe. However now that I have been teaching for the last 17 years, I guess I am. I have a Masters degree in Teaching The Exceptional Child, but I have been a general ed teacher for most of my career. My passion is public speaking. Currently, I teach speech, COMM 101 and language arts classes at Kimberly High School. I am obsessed with self-improvement and especially anything to do with leadership skills. I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up, but I am loving the journey!!
