I am so excited to be your child's 3rd grade teacher this year! I know this school year will be different and a challenge for all of us at times, but we can do hard things! I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know your child this year. It takes a village, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

I graduated from SIUE in 2005 with my Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education. This will be my third year teaching 3rd grade. I previously taught Pre-kindergarten, Kindergarten, and 1st grade. I absolutely LOVE teaching 3rd grade!

I currently live in Collinsville with my husband, Matt and our two daughters, Abby who is 15 and Claire who is 11. We also have two cats, Zoe and Tiger.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, cooking, baking, and watching movies and my favorite TV shows.
