Who is your favorite teacher?

My favorite teacher is Mrs. "McHayes." She was my fourth grade teacher, and she made her classroom truly an exciting place to be. Even as a child, it was evident that she TRULY loved what she did. When I became a teacher, I modeled myself after what she had been to me - loving, caring, and passionate.

What do you do in your free time?

I love online shopping and going out to eat. Amazon is my go-to app for online shopping. My husband and I enjoy eating out, especially at seafood restaurants
