A little information about me:

I have been a part of PEC since my son joined kindergarten in 2001. My 
daughter joined PEC the year after. Before I became a full-time elementary 
school teacher, I was a freelance graphic artist. As a stay-at-home mom, I 
volunteered as a parent at PEC, worked on the school yearbook for a few 
years, and substituted for two years. I have an Associate’s Degree in 
Exercise Science, a Bachelor of Arts in English, and a Master of Arts in 
Elementary Education.

I spend a lot of time with my family and friends. I love being active—hiking, 
biking, skating, and swimming, though most of my spare me-time is dedicated 
to Middle Eastern dance. I adore animals of all kinds and have an array of 
pets at home from an Irish Wolfhound to a Madagascar Boa. I greatly enjoy 
children’s books and movies, especially the Harry Potter series. I read 
comics and graphic novels, draw Manga, and play video games. I love to travel 
and look forward to adding more stamps to my passport.
