Tracey Portfolio Timeline

  • Married to Corey

    Married to Corey
    My husband is my best friend and has always encouraged me to do what has felt right. My decision to go to school to pursue a teaching career was embraced by him. I could not have done this without his love and support.
  • CVS Store Manager

    CVS Store Manager
    I was promoted to CVS store manager and realized how much I disliked that job. I knew that I didn't want to be unloading trucks and working nights and weekends for the next 40 years. My husband supported my decision to step down within the company and ultimately my decision to pursue a teaching career.
  • Justin Allen Lamb

    Justin Allen Lamb
    One of the reasons behind choosing teaching as a career is because of the fexibility and time off that the kids get. I knew that I would have a child someday and wanted to be available for him. I took about 10 years, part-time to complete my undergrad degree and certification because I wanted to stay home with my son until he entered 1st grade.
  • completed my undergrad degree

    completed my undergrad degree
    I completed my degree and my social studies certification at this time and began looking for a job. Apparently there were many others in the same boat as I was, social studies teachers with little to no experience looking for jobs. A few months later is when I accepted a job as an instructional assistant.
  • Started at Rivier for Master's Degree

    Started at Rivier for Master's Degree
    After 2 unsuccessful years of obtaining a teaching job, I decided that I needed to expand my qualifications. So I enrolled at Rivier College in the Graduate program in order to obtain my elementary ed certification and Master's Degree.
