The best thing about teaching is being with kids all day!  I just love to explore with them, opening their eyes to wonders they hadn’t even considered.  The looks on their faces when they realize they’ve just accomplished something great are awesome.  I must admit, I don’t think of it as work.  It’s more like play!  I believe there are so many fascinating things in the world, a teacher’s job is to spread the awe, wonder, curiosity and excitement.  I have only ever wanted to be a teacher, and I have been lucky enough to call Park View my home for over a decade. 

My husband and I are also Park View parents, as both of our daughters attend our fabulous school. We love biking, camping, swimming, working in our gardens, reading, and music.
