I chose to do a picture collage for my introduction image. All of these pictures represent the most important parts of my life! The top picture shows fireworks. I love watching fireworks in the summer and my favorite holiday is the 4th of July. The next picture shows marketing with different business concepts. I teach high school marketing and advanced marketing and am also my school’s DECA Advisor. DECA is a business club in which marketing students can be involved. Marketing is everywhere and it’s something I really enjoy teaching! The bottom picture is of the Nebraska state sign. I was born and have lived in Omaha, NE all of my life and it truly is “the good life.” Although some people may think Nebraska sounds like a boring place to live, there is lots to do! Omaha is home to Men’s College World Series. Baseball fans travel from all over the country to experience this fun week of events and it is one of my favorite things to do every summer.
The next 3 pictures shows me with some of my best friends. I attended the University of Nebraska – Lincoln and am a huge Husker fan! Lincoln is about an hour away from Omaha and Husker football is a way of life in Nebraska. The Sea of Red that floods the city of Lincoln during football season is something that everyone should experience. We are avid tailgaters as well and welcome all fans 🙂 I also love to travel. The bottom right picture shows my friends and I after we climbed Mt. Democrat, a 14er (14,154 feet!) mountain in Colorado. I love to go skiing and try to travel a lot during my summers off. My friends are very important to me and that’s why I included them in several pictures! The last picture is a quote that I try to live by. I’m all about giving good vibes and try to have a positive and upbeat attitude with teaching and life. I feel as though if you have a positive attitude you are more enjoyable to be around and it becomes contagious to those around you. Life is pretty busy, but I wouldn’t want it any other way!
