My district asked me to travel to Washington to become my site building trainer in the PLC process. What a journey, I was pregnant with baby number 3. I love the ideas of PLC and as an administrator, I hope have my entire site trained in this process. -

A Few Moments
This day changed my life forever. I was in a major car accident coming home from an Acadmic Decathlon competition. I suffered major injuries, have undergone several surgeries, and still struggle every day. -
Even when it's the worst
Something good happens. My Master's program is finally underway. I just hope with all my physical constraints and health issues, I will perservere. -
New Venture
It's bittwersweet. Due to contained physical limitations, I am not able to work in the traditional classroom setting. I was offered a job as an Academic Dean at a small private school that my children attend. I miss the classroom more than I ever could imagine I would. Looking to utilize my talents in the online teaching world.
