I have a son named, Wyatt, who also attends school in the Mascoutah School District. We are an animal loving family. Our pets include a dog named Cooper, hamster named Nibbles, tarantula named Fang and fish!
I am looking forward to working with you and your child. I know the importance of open communication between home and school.
I am a kindergarten teacher at Scott Elementary School. I have taught in Kindergarten and first grade. I also have my master's as a Reading Specialist.
