I attended Western Michigan University where I studied Secondary Education. My major and my minor are my two passions in life: English and history. This will be my twentieth year of teaching middle school! I taught seven years in Orlando, Florida, and I have been here at Wiley for the past thirteen years. Some of my interests include: reading the latest YA novels, listening to all the wonderful music out there, and spending time with my family. I am really looking forward to having a stellar school year!
