Thank you for visiting my online portfolio.  I am currently a student at Inver Hills Community College and I will be transferring in the Fall of 2007 to Metro State University to pursue a degree in Elementary Education.  Over the past 15 years I have worked with children in one capacity or another as a daycare provider, preschool teacher, Girl Scout Leader, Educational and Supervisory Paraprofessional, Vacation Bible School teacher and classroom volunteer.  I find great joy in teaching and feel I have a genuine understanding for children.  There is something very satisfying about knowing you have made a positive impact on the life of a child.
