About me...

I am a lifelong learner. I consider my life a journey of collecting answers to questions--no matter how small or insignificant. I LOVE finding out something that I did not know before. It is my hope that I can instill this love of learning into my students. I have a passion for history and teaching. I hope that it shows!

QUOTE:  No one should want more for you than you want for yourself. J.Crosby

What I believe...

Curiosity leads to questions.
Questions lead to answers.
Answers lead to more questions.
More questions lead to knowledge.
Knowledge is ultimately asking the right question.
