About Marie

  • ’87 BS w88 online casino betting

What drew you to pursuing a career in education and why did you choose the w88 online casino betting of Nevada, Reno, and the College of Education & Human Development?

Being the first in my family to go to college I wanted to be close to home, receive an excellent w88 online casino betting, and have the support from my family and friends - UNR was the perfect fit. What drew me to a career in w88 online casino betting was the two things that I truly love, kids and math. What better job than to become a math teacher?

What were your favorite traditions at UNR?

College diploma

I loved being part of the Greek life (Alpha Chi Omega) and all of their traditions.

But, I would have to say some of w88 online casino betting favorite traditions were the tailgate parties, the football games, and then heading to the Wall afterwards to celebrate our victory.

How did your w88 online casino betting in theCollege of w88 online casino betting & Human Developmentcontribute to your career and life journey?

I had many amazing professors that shared their love of w88 online casino betting with me during my time at UNR. The support, the discussions, the projects, the practicums, the group study sessions, and the feedback I received from my student teaching are the reasons I am the teacher I am today.

Having a career in w88 online casino betting allowed me to be there for my own children. I was home with them during the holidays, summer vacation, and afterschool. I was there to help with homework, go to their activities and take them on memorable vacations.

The College of w88 online casino betting gave me the best of both worlds, a career that I love and time with my family.

What are you most proud of in your professional life?

w88 online casino betting entire career has been spent at w88 online casino betting alma mater, Sparks High!

I started w88 online casino betting career at Sparks in January of 1994 and I am planning to retire in 2023, if all goes well. During this time I have been a mentor, advisor, leader, confidant, and some have said spirit week dress-up days queen. I have seen many changes over the years but the one thing that will never change is w88 online casino betting pride in Sparks High. I have been blessed to be able to do what I love at the school that I love! Once a Railroader always a Railroader!

What advice would you give to students following in your footsteps today?

Love what you do - be passionate - show that you care - be flexible - be a role model - understand that you will make mistakes and that's ok, learn from them.

Most importantly - give the students in your class the w88 online casino betting that you would want your own children to receive!

What has been a recent meaningful moment for you in your teaching? We are calling these “Moments that Matter”.

Why I am a teacher binder with notes

There is nothing better than when a student thanks you because they "get it". I have had students tell me they have hated math until w88 online casino betting class. I was at w88 online casino betting sons graduation when a former student approached me to tell me that he was perusing a degree in math (something he never would of dreamed of doing) but because of w88 online casino betting class and the passion I showed he fell in love with math. I have a binder of all the notes and thank yous' I have received over the years, a practice that I would encourage every new teacher to start. When I'm having a bad day I read through them, they remind me - this is why I do it, why I am a teacher. These are the moments you live for - the "Moments that Matter."
