About the teacher...

About me...  

As an Elk Rapids native, I feel blessed to live and work in the same school that provided many wonderful memories and a lifelong love of learning.  My husband and our three children are also former graduates of Elk Rapids so our Elk Pride runs deep!  

My educational history includes:  

As an educator, I value an environment where learning is enjoyable.  I believe that all students can and want to learn.  To that end, a developmentally appropriate sense of purpose and responsibility for one's own educational journey is always a primary goal.   

Working together with parents is very important to students' success, and I hope that together we can make the school experience one that fosters habits of learning that last a lifetime.  Along with ensuring every child's safety and attainment of Core Common State Standards, it is my personal goal that every child grow in his or her confidence, compassion and connections to the world, allowing natural inquisitiveness to direct learning whenever possible.
