Hello! I am honored to be your child's fourth grade teacher. I promise to do my best to make the year fun, productive, meaningful, and positive. 

You are an integral part of your child's academic success, and I look forward to forming a partnership with you. Please let me know when you have questions, concerns, or suggestions. We are stronger together!  

About me: This is my 13th year at Bell and my 17th year of teaching. I couldn’t ask for a better job!  

Education: University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism); DePaul University (Masters in Elementary Education); I am also ESL endorsed. 

Children: Isla (fourth grade), Natalie (second grade), & Colette (age 3). I'm sure you will hear lots of stories about them!

I enjoy: reading, traveling, boating, live comedy, baking, and spending time with my family.

Fun Fact: Before teaching, I worked as an education reporter at a newspaper. I hope to pass along a love of writing to you too.  

I can't wait for us to get to know each other better and to form a community!
