Getting to know me... Family: I have two daughters and a loving husband, Ryan Taylor. I grew up in Petoskey and attended Petoskey High School. Playing Volley Ball, Basketball and Soccer.
Education: I received a bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University in Business ( Marketing). During my senior year I had the opportunity to teach oversea's in Taipei TW ROC and was able to travel around Asia. During this adventure, I realized that teaching was my true passion. After one year of teaching over seas, I worked as a graduate assistant for the University of Toledo and obtained my Masters in Special Education. I moved to Pittsburgh where I had my first classroom teaching experience at Pittsburgh Public School District. During my first couple years teaching, I attended the University of Pittsburgh to obtain a Principal Certification.
I have worked in classrooms with many different cultures and disability areas for 7 years before joining the West Family 6 years ago. I love learning from my students and their families every year. I look forwards to supporting your son or daughter to meet their goals this year!
