Hello! I am so thankful to be teaching 5th grade ELA and Social Studies this year! Seeing the world (whether through an excellent book or travel), drinking coffee, and spending time with my wonderful family and friends are some of my favorite things. I have a passion for fostering inquiry and life-long learning through literacy. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Mid-Level Education (Language Arts and Social Studies) and a Master’s degree in Reading. I believe that each and every one of my students can learn and grow, and I believe that each student should be treated with the utmost respect. Please see me as a partner in your child’s education as I know that this is an exciting and transition-filled time for you and your child. I am so honored to be a part of the 5th grade team, and I am excited to see where this year takes us!
