About me...

My name is pronounced knee-woah-ner; not as tough as it looks. ;)

My Mission for your child

I will do my best each day to give your child relevant knowledge, the courage to try new things, curiosity to see new answers, and the ability to be the best they can be.


This is my 11th year teaching third grade and I'm excited to help your students.

  1. I love teaching and learning new ways to make learning fun every year!

  2. I've been an avid scuba diver for 23 years and I took the underwater photographs on this page.

  3. I've been rock climbing for 8 years and have even been ice climbing.

  4. I love spending time outside in nature camping, floating, and hiking.

  5. Though I don't have any children yet, once your child has been in my class, they are forever, "one of my kids." :)
