This year I begin my twenty-fourth year teaching and my tenth year at Buckeye Elementary. Prior to teaching here, I taught first grade in the Westlake City Schools District for 13 years. Before there I taught first grade in the Solon City School District on the east-side. Most of my years have been spent in first grade, however, the last two years I have enjoyed working with older students in 6th grade. It has been fun to have some of my Buckeye first graders again in 6th grade!

Personal Information
My husband and I live in Valley City and have three children. Gillian is 23, Owen is 18 and Connor is 17. I enjoy travel with my family, working out with my friends and my daughter, and watching our middle son play soccer. This fall he begins playing for John Carroll University as a goal keeper. I can't wait to watch him this fall!
