I am so proud and excited to be the Teacher of the Year for DEMA this year! DEMA has felt like my home since I arrived here and I am happy to have the chance to represent our school and our students this year. I always believe that things happen for a reason and people end up where they need to be. Every time I have been faced with making a school change or a grade level change I always pray that God puts me not only where I am needed the most, but where I can also grow and be a part of a family. DEMA was definitely the answer to both of those prayers!! Thank you all for believing in me and supporting me each and every day.
