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.
Paradise Education Center is committed to providing excellence in education
and guiding children to gain confidence in a safe environment that enables
students to be successful, caring, and knowledgeable members of our community.
