My Philosophy

     I chose my profession during my early years in High School.  I took several Home Economic classes.  Although I was an honor student, I really enjoyed my elective courses.  I decided that I wanted to teach a class that I knew students would enjoy attending and I wanted to be able to share and teach skills that could and would be used for a life time.  So here I am.  I must say that I love what I do.
