Mrs. Dorset's Biography

I began teaching in 1994 in Laingsburg, Michigan, where I taught sixth, seventh and eight grade Science during my first two years and fourth grade the following year. My fourth year of teaching was in Airport Community Schools, focusing on sixth grade Math. In 1998, I began teaching 6th grade here in Saline. I love what I do and where I work.

I earned my teaching degree from Eastern Michigan University in 1994. Then five years later I earned my masters degree from Michigan State University (GO SPARTANS!). I am very proud of my education. I’ve had to work very hard for it. In the spring of 2004, I completed 30 additional college credits to continue to improve my teaching.

I have a big family: a husband, four sisters, one brother, a mom, a step-dad, a dad and a step-mom. My pride and joy are my two children. Dominic is nine years old and full of energy. He loves to talk, read, watch movies and talk more. My daughter, Alaina, will be seven in November and is in first grade. She tries hard to keep up with her brother, and enjoys singing, dancing and riding her bike and making us all laugh. My family is very important to me. We spend a lot of time together traveling, camping, playing sports or sometimes just watching movies at home.

My summer was very busy. One of the highlights was our trip out west.  We spent 3 weeks touring National Parks including the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone. There are so many beautiful places to visit in the United States!  In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading and hanging out with our friends. My hobbies include traveling, bike riding, reading, exercising, and listening to music.
