I love teaching at Alward Elementary School! I bring over 24 years of teaching experience in a variety of academic settings, with my most recent being in the best grade ever - 4th grade!
I hold a Master's Degree in Education and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education. I obtained my Middle School and Reading Endorsements in North Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota. Education, kindness, empathy, and positive energy are things I greatly value. I hope to share this value with the children I am fortunate enough to work with.
My husband, Jim, is a coach for the GVSU football team. We are proud parents of 3 children. Our children Zoe (24), Ben (21), and Trey (20) all graduated from HHS and attend GVSU. We have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs that we adore.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, support your child's education, and work with me toward a common goal of creating an outstanding community and providing our kids with quality education and guidance.
