=**|| || || Jere and I in Puerto Rico || Career**= =**I am an administrative aide and science 6 and 7 teacher at Tuckahoe Middle School. I have been with the county for 8 years. I started at Fairfield Middle School my first 4 years and have done my last four at TMS. I created and run a mentor program called H.A.N.D.S. (Helping and Nurturing Dynamic Students), I am a PLC facilitator, I am the field day coordinator, and I am the media representative. I wear MANY hats at my school. I am a go-getter and I don't stop much to breathe while at school. I love my job and I adore my kids. And this might sound crazy, but I LOVE the discipline aspect. It is because I love helping kids to realize their mistakes and then make better choices. It kind of makes me feel like a proud mom.**= =**Personal**= =**I live in Northside with my three shar-pei, oh yeah and my husband too! I sometimes forget to write that when talking about my puppies HE HE!! We do not have any kids YET, just our canine ones.**= =**I am from New York and certainly have that NY swagger about me, some would say attitude! I am bluntly honest, which I feel is an asset in administration and most of my friends cherish, because they know they will always get a straight forward answer from me. I went to SUNY at Fredonia (State University of New York) and got my BS in Elementary Education with a concentration in Science/Biology, a Middle School extension, and a minor in Theatre! And yes I was there very long and graduated with 165 credit hours!! I wanted to try a lot of different things.**= =**I am very political, which is ironic since I am such an oober liberal and I live in the capitol of the confederacy! I think that just spurs me on more because I LOVE a challenge.**= =**My parents still live in NY and my sister and her partner live in MD and are expecting their first baby in November, so I get to be crazy Aunty Tia. I am mostly excited about teaching the baby naughty things and sending him/her home to his/her mommies!!**= =**My favorite color is pink, because now that I am older it is okay to look cute and young. I have a lot of favorite bands Dixie Chicks, Shins, Death Cab for Cutie, and I am currently obsessed with Taylor Swift.**= =**I love to dance and did so from the age of 3 to about 22 (recently not dancing). I started a dance team at TMS and we have won 1st place in the county the last two years.**= = = = = == =**|| || || Aries and Bubbah || Goals**= =**To get a job as an AP and then move into Human Resources. My other goal is to be a mommy someday, but until graduate school is done and I find a job using my degree that will have to wait.**=
