About Me:

Welcome to fifth grade! I am honored to be your child’s teacher this year. It’s going to be a great year!

I began my teaching career twenty-one years ago at Fairview Elementary; teaching first, second, third and fourth grade. This is my eleventh year as a fifth grade teacher at Lakeview Elementary. I am so happy to be here. Fifth grade is such a fun age. The students are sweet, energetic and excited to learn.

I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor’s degree in education. I have also completed my Master’s degree.

My husband, Eric, and I have two children. Christopher is a sophomore in college this year, and Matthew is a sophomore at Bloomington High School South.
