Tish
Hi! I'm Tish Schaefer and I'm so happy to be here. I am a Full-time English teacher to 7th and 8th graders. I am currently taking some time off to be at home with my son, but I cannot wait to be back into my regular schedule. I also have a Health and Wellness business, where I teach women to embrace who they are, while also creating lasting lifestyle changes. I enjoy long hikes, camping and down time with my family.
