About Me

I started teaching in 1996 and received my graduate degree in 2010. I have also taught in Battle Creek and Dayton and am now in my tenth year at Maplewood. I enjoy making learning fun since I’m just a big kid myself. Music, movement, puppets, and purposeful silliness are often used to memorize facts and understand concepts. I get bored easily so I look for ways to liven up each day! To liven up my personal life, I love spending time outside and have enjoyed running a marathon, white water rafting, rock climbing, rappelling, zip lining, and skydiving.
