I have been teaching in the Odessa School building since 2000.  I have been a substitute teacher, taught k-5 reading remediation, preschool, kindergarten for 13 years, and 5th grade for 7 years. Over the years, I still continued to teach k-12 art in a variety of capacities.  My favorite part about teaching is watching children grow and learn new concepts and to help children believe in themselves so they can reach their full potential.
