Education: 
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I am licensed in both Early Childhood(Birth - 3rd) and Elementary Education (K - 6th).

Experience:
Before and during university, I worked in the Child Center of Lifetime Fitness and became the assistant director. I would create events for the children and families while working with children ages 3 months to 12 years.  Once I graduated, I was a full time nanny for two years. I also taught English in a Korean Elementary school for two years. I was a long term 1st grade substitute for St Paul public schools and have subbed in many districts around the Twin Cities. This is my fourth year here at Noble. I taught 6th grade for two years and this is my 2nd year as a Kindergarten teacher.
 
Reason for becoming a Teacher:
I became a teacher because I’ve always wanted to be a part of something bigger. I have the ability to teach our future leaders and to help guide them into becoming the best at whatever they choose to be.  I can help shape our future leaders to always grow, never stop learning, and to treat others with kindness and respect. I became a teacher to gain a brighter tomorrow.

Interesting Facts and Hobbies:
I was born and raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Both of my parents worked for the Hershey company.  Me and my family love chocolate of any kind but stay true to our Hershey roots. I love to read, especially Agatha Christie’s mystery books.  I love to travel as well and am already planning the next country to visit.ry to visit.
