A teacher's aide at a Massachusetts elementary school suspended over racy modeling photos says she has received support from co-workers since returning to school.

MassLive.com reported (http://bit.ly/1bt7ip9) that 23-year-old Kaitlin Pearson returned to work late last month after she was put on paid leave for more than 10 days after someone anonymously sent modeling photos to a local newspaper as well as the South Street Elementary School.

Pearson says she is upset that the matter was made public, but is happy to be back at work.

She has appeared in multiple amateur photo shoots, but fears that the public frenzy will hurt her future in modeling. She says her ideal job is to work as a promotional and trade show model for an energy drink company.
