about me

I have over fifteen years teaching experience as a professional educator and a Master’s Degree in Education. My goal is to facilitate knowledge by educating, engaging, and intriguing all students to learn through hands-on discovery while making personal connections. I believe all students can achieve academically, and it is my job to provide differentiated instruction and opportunities for them to succeed. My classroom motto is "Linking Learning Through Life"--Students need a reason why we learn something and how it can relate to their lives.

I throughly enjoy teaching and coming to work everyday!! When I am not teaching I am either working out, watching the Golden Girls reruns, reading, or having fun with my family. I have a wonderful husband: Andrew and four beautiful and amazing dogs: Coconuts, Paisley, Zoey and Bagels.

I am loud, enthusiastic, and hopefully fun!

It is my personal goal to keep parents/guardians informed as much as possible. With the number of students I’m responsible for it is impossible for me to contact every parent/guardian every day. If at any time you would like an update on your child, please feel free to contact me via email.
