I love the kids

Posted Oct 14, 2017

I graduated from Kempsville High and wanted to come back to Virginia Beach. I worked in Williamsburg for a year and decided to come back home. This is my fourth year here. I live here. I sponsor SCA. I’m the assistant student activities coordinator. I coach JV cheerleading. I live here.

Why do you do all that you do?

We have a really amazing, diverse student body and, in the past year especially, a lot of school spirit. I love the kids. They’re fantastic. They make it worth it. They’re like my own kids. I love my job or I wouldn’t do it.

What would you say to other teachers about getting involved or advising a club? 

I think it’s the best part of my job. You get to know kids in a different way than you do in the classroom and build those relationships.
