I have been working with children of all ages for about 20 years in different capacities. I have worked at various after-school programs and for the Omaha Public Schools District. I have a teaching certificate in secondary Health and Special Education. I also have an administrative degree in K-12 and a leadership endorsement. I like watching Lifetime movies and spending time with my family. Reading inspirational tools and working out are some of my hobbies.
