Ms. Danielle Branch
I'm from New York by way of the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. After yesterday's crushing defeat, I am finally a Cowboy's fan (Don't tell my brothers!) I have worked in education for close to twenty years. I have always wanted to do Kindergarten, but was never afforded the opportunity, until last year. I loved it just like I knew I would and I am loving it here at Sunrise! I am bilingual and work daily at passing the BTLPT (Voy a aprobar un dia!) I love everything about Texas, especially brisket. Y'all can keep that heat!
