- 3. My Family I have been engaged to be married for the past 13 years to a wonderful man.

- 6. ExperiencesI have worked with children for over twenty-five years as a parent volunteer or teacher helper. I have experience with children with disabilities and was a respite and mentor. I am currently a Special Education Instructional Assistant at Antigo High School and work with students that have Emotional and Behavioral issues. This is my first year as a paid teacher within the school districts.
- 7. Like to be involved We are involved with the Boy Scouts and I am the Service Project Coordinator, Event Planner, and Camp Medical Records Officer. I have been involved with scouting for 15 years on and off.
- 8. I am also involved in FFA at the high school and help the adviser at events and in the classroom.
- 9. Favorite Teacher that made a difference in me becoming a teacher, Mrs. Driskill. I am in the third row, third from the right.
- 10. Mrs. Driskill Mrs. Driskill taught be that everyone is the same no matter if they have a disability or not. As a child growing up I was the oldest of seven children and Mrs. Driskill always gave me the attention and care that I needed as well as encouraged my artistic skills. I never realized that she made that much of a difference until I was in high school and struggling to deal with issues at home. My senior year of high school I was placed in her classroom as an aide and brought myself back to my love for teaching.
- 11. My Achievements towards being a teacher and mentor.
- 12. Awards This is the first award I received from the school and it is proudly displayed in my classroom with all my students achievements.
- 13. Life Goals I am looking forward to finishing my Master of Art in Special Education in January 2015 and starting my journey as a full-time teacher at the current school district. This has not been an easy journey but I have dug down deep and made my first level goals. If you would have asked me five years ago would I ever be teaching and have my degree, I might have said no.
- 14. Reasons for Master's Degree In our state, you will have an easier time finding employment of you have a Master's degree and my love for working with students that have disabilities is an added plus. My lifetime goals is to use my knowledge of the fine arts (theater & art) and open a charter school that works directly with youths that can not function in a regular school setting. I am already in place working with these students and started on grant proposals to get funding for new programs during the summer.
- 15. A quote I have posted on my wall behind my desk for everyone to see.
