Tell about your involvement in education, and your ideals for collegial sharing
I am in my last year of college working towards my degree in elementary education, looking to gain some insight from other educators.

About Me:
I could lay on the beach all day.
Love the water and watersports.
Lifeguard.
Mad love for tennis and golf.
I wish summer and fall were the only two seasons.
Love to be outdoors (especially at my cabin in the Upper Peninsula)
Insanely organized and clean.
Just itching to get a puppy!!
