Accomplishments
As an Air Force Cadet, I learned to manage intense physical and mental demands under extreme high-pressure. Before earning my commission as a 2nd Lt, I earned my jump wings as a graduate of the freefall program. My Air Force training and experience gave me life skills that I was able to apply as an at-home mother of three. I organized a neighborhood Mothers' group and child-care swap program. As my children reached school-age, I volunteered as room parent, costume designer and creator, party organizer, and homework helper for 10 years at Colden Elementary School. I served as Cub Scout leader for 4 years. I organized and successfully implemented a benefit for family in need, involving entire community and raising over $3000 in one month. Trained for and competed in several triathlons in the Western New York area. Earned Master’s Degree while working part-time and caring for three children.
Since obtaining my NYS Teaching Certification, I have had several long-term substitute positions, where I successfully fulfilled all duties of the absent math teacher.
