Favorite Quote:  "There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone's life."

- Sister Mary Rose McGeady

My “why” for teaching:  Since I was younger, I wanted to work in the field of education.  I had a  desire to inspire others, advocate for the "underdog," and made a difference in the world.  My "why" is to provide others with the opportunity to change the future as I have been given and to provide life changing moments.

Favorite EdRising Moment: In my 25 years, I have had so many many wonderful memories and opportunities, I could not possibly pick one.
