"For as long as I can remember all that I have wanted to do was to have a family and teach school. I feel very blessed to have been able to accomplish both of those goals. Teaching at Prep has allowed me to discover that I love teaching the history of our country and that I love teaching thirteen and fourteen year olds. I hope I instill in my students a deeper appreciation of those folks who were just like us and the sacrifices they made for our country."
