My favorite thing about LR is the community!
How did you know you wanted to be a teacher?
I have always loved art, but it wasn't until I started working at a before and after school program that I realized how much I loved working with kids. Its amazing to see how their confidence in everything grows when they are encouraged and find something they are good at.

I would love to do murals in museums and stores (like the ones at Bass Pro and Wonders of Wildlife).

I would love to learn to play the violin. I tried orchestra class in junior high, but I have forgotten all of it.
What do you like to do when you're not at school?
Art... haha. I love creating, whether it is painting, building, or just drawing.
