HAVE A GREAT AND SAFE SUMMER!!!
Drink plenty of water and wear sunscreen! Go outside and play and get dirty!

I've lived in several different places growing up including Indianapolis IN, Savannah GA, Morehead KY, Smyrna DE, and most recently Garner NC.
I graduated from Morehead State University with my Bachelors in Health and Physical Education. I am certified to teach grades K-12 and am also certified in CPR.
