Welcome!

I am entering my thirty first year of teaching. While at Newton these past 16 years, I have taught third and first grade as well as kindergarten. I stepped into the Title I role in the 2023-24 school year.

In this role, I work with classroom teachers and trained paraprofessionals to ensure that the students in our district receive the support they need to become successful readers. 

As Newton's structured literacy specialist, I am currently working on completing my Orton-Gillingham Certification at the Teaching-Practitioner Level through Hamiltion County ESC.

I live in Troy with my husband and my 14 year old daughter, Anna. She attends Newton High School. I am also the junior high and high school Drama Club Advisor at Newton.
