Personal Notes
Hilary is a busy mom of two girls and a baby boy. She has a passion for creating resources and sharing them with other educators. Her B.A. is in Communication Studies with an emphasis in radio, television, and film. A mission trip convinced her that she wanted to be a teacher. Hilary realized she had never felt more happy and at peace than when she was standing there in 126 degree weather with kids hanging all over her. She just knew she had to work with children so she pursued her Masters of Education in Instructional Leadership.
Hilary has 9 brothers and sisters and loves her huge family. Her passion is traveling. Some of the countries she’s been to include Jamaica, Canada, Guatemala, England, France, Kenya, and Honduras. She has many more countries on her bucket list. Speaking of her dad, he is Canadian, which makes her half Canadian. You would never know that from her strong Southern accent!
