Â鶹´«Ã½

I am the family consumer science teacher at Portage Northern Middle School.

I am so excited to be here. The Â鶹´«Ã½s are amazing. I love my kids. I love the principals, they're so supportive. There's a lot of collaboration with staff. It's a great building to be in and I feel blessed and so happy to be here.

I've always felt like I wanted to be a teacher. I used to teach my stuffed animals when I was little. I would take attendance and I just love the energy that brought me. I get really excited, especially in this field. It's so much fun and there's so much going on. I'm a busybody, so I felt like it was a great fit for me to work with Â鶹´«Ã½s in family and consumer science.

There's so many facets of family consumer science that I love. Family nutrition is my favorite and I love cooking. So trying to teach kids how to cook and teach them life skills is phenomenal. I absolutely love it.

First of all, because it was in my backyard. But I also knew they had a great program for family and consumer sciences. I remember my home ed teacher and there weren't many schools available for that field, but once I was in it, I realized it was like the perfect fit and I felt like the professors were phenomenal.

I also felt like the WMU advising team was great. I didn't feel lost. I like the the big campus feel, but it's small. So I didn't feel like I was overwhelmed.

There's so much involvement and so many things to do. And the professors are so involved in your education. And if you're looking for a big school feel but you feel overwhelmed by those big schools, WMU is a great fit.
