I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten again. This is my 23rd year teaching and my 22nd year at Harris as a teacher. I have taught third grade for 8 years, kindergarten for 10 years and first grade for 4 years.
I was born in Utah and grew up in Texas, Arizona, and Utah. I have lived in Arizona for most of my life and call it home. I graduated from Ottawa University. I play the piano, violin, and enjoy singing. My favorite color is blue, my favorite food is Mexican Food, my favorite hobby is shopping (Amazon, Target, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Wal-Mart), and I love children's books. I love making cakes and had the pleasure of making a wedding cake for a previous student. I love going to the movies and gardening.
My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. I have 2 daughters and 2 sons that I adopted 14 years ago. I also have two of the cutest Shorkie puppies named Harley and Quinn and a 2 Goldendoodles named Klemyntine and Rusty.
Teaching is my passion and brings me so much joy as I see my students grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
