Hello! I'm a 1st Grade Teacher at Wingate Elementary School. I earned my degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and before I found my passion in teaching, I worked in the technology industry.
When I'm not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking with my family, practicing yoga, getting lost in a good book, and taking walks with my two dachshunds. I’m also a mom to two amazing boys, Willow and Greyson, who keep life fun and busy!
Fun Facts About Me:
I lived in Hawaii for three years
I’ve watched every single episode of Survivor
I love to garden (even if my plants don't always thrive!)
I collect vintage Pyrex dishes
