Past Teaching Experiences:  I have taught both kids and adult classes. I am currently teaching at Micheals Arts and Crafts but have taught at my home as well as various groups around the area including some homeschooled kids. It has been a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Words of Encouragement to Novice Teachers:

"I would say have confidence in yourself and remember that we learn as we go. So don't be afraid to take the step forward and start sharing what you know and you will find you know more than you thought. I have found over my years of teaching that there is a great satisfaction that comes with sharing your talents with others."
