Did you always know what you wanted to be? Did you always want to be a spouse, parent, cop, fire fighter, mechanic?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I have always enjoyed teaching.When I was in little, I would line up my stuffed animals and teach them the alphabet. In high school, I took a class that allowed me to teach preschoolers everything from phonics to nutrition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My first piano teacher saw teacher qualities in me when I would work patiently with duet partners. My drill sergeants in the Army would ask me if I aspired to become a drill sergeant myself… I think because I was good at leading cadence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Try running and singing simultaneously.
Fun times! )

I’m a third generation teacher. My mom and dad taught catechism, and my maternal grandmother taught grade school. I have been a homeschooling mom since our firstborn heard my singing in the womb, and I’ve taught our five children to read, write, solve mathematics problems, and play piano.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You could say that teaching is my calling,
music my passion, and
family my vocation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m very blessed that I get to live out all three everyday.
