Hello, I am Samantha Adams and I am the new third grade teacher here at OLV. This is my first year teaching at OLV and I am so excited to begin this journey with the Archdiocese of Baltimore at such an amazing school! I graduated last year from Western Governors University in Utah. I graduated with my degree in Educational Studies with a focus in elementary and interdisciplinary education. I will also begin to pursue my graduate degree this year at Goucher College. Although this is my first year in the Archdiocese, I have been a para-educator with Baltimore County Public Schools for the last three years while earning my Bachelor of Arts. In my spare time I love to hike, do crafts, work on cars, hang out with my friends, spend time with my niece, and play with my dogs. I have been with my boyfriend, Josh, for almost eight years now. He studies Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland while managing a store near his house. I also love to travel with him! I have family that we visit often in Nevada, Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. This makes teaching Social Studies one of my favorites! I look forward to working with you this year!
