I am a 23 year old 4th grade teacher. I love to go and see the wonderful smiles on my children's faces every morning. I have one son and currently engaged and will be married soon. I teach at Tohatchi Elementary School in Tohatchi, New Mexico, nestled beneath the beautiful Chuska Mountains. I am a Navajo woman who lived on the reservation most of her life and left for 5 years to recieve her education at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico. My strong ties to family, culture, and the land has brought me back to a place I love the most, my home.
