Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Carrie. Welcome to my very first blog! I have been working in the early education field for 15+ years. I decided it was time for a change, so I decided to pursue my multiple subject credential and Masters in Education. This journey has been an adventure to say the least.  It has been a wild ride so far and just the challenge I was looking for professionally.  I have found a lot of similarities and many differences between the two fields. I am excited for all the adventures in store for me as I make this transition from Miss Carrie the preschool teacher to Miss Nichols the elementary school teacher!  

            I am a Northern California transplant; I moved to Southern California for college and never looked back. You simply can’t beat the weather! I love the beach and all ocean sports, especially scuba diving! There is something so calming about being in the deep blue water swimming with all the fish. I love to travel, and have been to 5 of the 7 continents. My favorite places are those, which include spectacular scuba diving spots. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews. You’re looking at the worlds best Auntie Eemo here!

 Two years ago I ran my first half marathon on a fluke! I found that I really enjoyed it and have since taken up running. Running is a activity in which I would have never pictured myself enjoying, but I caught the bug and have been doing it ever since. 

 One last fun fact about me is that I am a twin!
