About Me

3 years ago I started my adventure, I traded my flip-flops in for cowboy boots. I left everything I knew in California, my family and friends and moved east. I ended up in the flat lands of Oklahoma. I had a little bit of trouble adjusting at the beginning, but it has been an incredible learning opportunity and a great time to reflect and re-focus my priorities. It took some time to get settled, but I have found my place. Often I am asked why I left California, and here is my response: when a door opens you take it. Sometimes you don’t always know why opportunities arise but once you walk through the threshold, you realize, the opportunity was given to you for a specific reason, you simply have to respond in faith. Since being here, I landed a full time teaching job as the first grade teacher at a very incredible Christian School. It has brought me so much joy to be able to use not only my degree, but also my gifts and talents to teach children and prepare them for the journey each of them will embark on. My adventure isn’t ending here…I’m going to Asia!
