I am thrilled to be your child's second grade teacher this year!  I have been teaching elementary school for 20 years.  I am a lifelong learner that just  completed a Master of Arts program in Reading at Grand Canyon University. This is my second career.  Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a CPA with Ernst & Young for over 15 years.  When my eldest son entered kindergarten, I volunteered to be the Room Mom. I volunteered as much as I could and it was then that I knew I wanted to be an elementary school teacher.  I am the mother of two amazing young men. One is a SCAD alumni.  He lives in Florida and designs theme parks.  The other is a USC alumni working in private equity.  My husband and I enjoy traveling, bicycling and relaxing in our backyard.
