When she's not teaching she can be found reading, cooking, cycling, gardening, playing video games and spending time with family. Bev has hiked nearly 400 miles of the Appalachian Trail which includes climbing over 70 different mountains, "Some day I hope to complete the entire trail which spans over 2000 miles," she said.
The best part of teaching for Krueger is, "That moment when a student has been struggling to be successful and they finally get it. I love the sense of pride and accomplishment that they receive from their hard work."
Her best advice for life is, "Be willing to put in hard work where it is necessary. Natural talent will only take you so far, but if you are willing to work hard and you are resilient you will be successful."
