Thank you for joining me on the first episode of the Connect FCS ED podcast. I sit here in my classroom right now, it's the end of the day and I am just excited to share with you my story.

I am a relatively... A brand new teacher, I've only been in the classroom for the last three years. family consumer science wasn't even something on my radar, I just wanted to get into the classroom and make an impact. And through one of my alternative pathways, I was able to get plugged into a teaching program which gave me the opportunity to apply for a family consumer science extended leave replacement position.

That is the beginning of my story and I am so excited to share with you, that it's not my ending, it's only the beginning.
