3. My Family

4. We are currently living in Rib Mountain,

to work. My daily drive consists of driving
through beautiful farm lands.

5. Recent Graduate with a BA in

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.

my desk for everyone to see.
