hobbies

Spending time with friends and family is by far my favorite past time. I am a papercrafter, scrapbooker and wreath maker. I love to read and play on the beach. We travel a lot and our now sharing time video chatting with our new grandbaby.

Additional Information

I am new to Florida as of April 2019. We moved from the Northwest area to Brunswick, GA last year for my husbands job and were quickly transferred here to the Milton area after that mill was closed. I have been an educator for over 15 years and love spending time with young children. I am planning on going back to school next fall to finish my Bachelors Degree, so a part time position is ideal. I have had the last year off with the many moves and miss my students and the comradery of working with fellow teachers tremendously. I have worked in pre-schools and elementary schools off and on over the years and each of them offers varied and wonderful adventures. I look forward to getting back to my happy place soon.

I am including a recommendation letter from my principle and have a couple more that I can add later if needed.
