Hello and welcome! I am honored to be your child's fourth grade teacher. This will be a great year of learning and growth.  

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.  

About me: This is my 14th year at Bell and my 18th 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 (fifth grade), Natalie (third grade), Colette (PreK), and Summer (our golden retriever puppy) 

I enjoy: reading, traveling, baking, and spending time with 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!
