Kristi's Story
I moved from Buffalo, NY to teach art for the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, NV in August of 1993! I taught elementary art for two years, then transferred to secondary school for the next eleven years. I've pretty much taught almost all the art courses available to a high school student: Art I, Design Crafts, Ceramics, Studio in Art, Photography, and Drawing. I loved teaching high school students the most! Through the years I advised many different clubs including an art club, a scrapbook club, a photography club and a Bible Club. In order to get in at the high school level I had to serve as the advisor for the Cheerleaders, ugghhh...you can imagine how I felt about that! I also served as an advisor for the Freshman and Sophomore classes for Student Council, and those were two great years of my life. I absolutely love teaching art, and there's nothing else I would rather do in my life.
I've been married for 12 years now. I have a daughter who is 12, her name is Hope. I have a son who is ...Expand for more
5, his name is JW. I took the last three years off to stay at home with him while he was a baby because I didn't stay at home with my daughter. It was torture. I am not a good stay at home mom, and I totally respect those moms who do. I have no idea how they do it. It is easier to be in a classroom of 38 high school students and teach them about art than it is to stay at home with one child, let alone two or more.
So I'm back teaching, only I had to start at elementary again. Luckily I'm at a great school and I am actually liking the little kids way more than I did when I first started teaching. I guess that's because I'm a mom now so I feel differently about little kids. I hope to return to teaching high school again one day, but it's so hard to move up once you've been out! I'm on my 3rd year there and am really enjoying it.
In my spare time I am a jewelry designer and I like to paint.
Hope your life is great! If you are ever in Vegas, send me an e-mail and maybe I can meet you out for a drink!
