This is my 11th year teaching 3rd grade. However, I am beginning my 20th year of teaching here at Northwestern and could not be more excited! I spent the first nine years as an Intervention Specialist at the elementary and middle schools. This year, I will be teaching reading and writing. In addition to teaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, my daughter Emily, and my son Brock. We enjoy camping, boating, biking, hiking, and having picnics. I also enjoy sports from the Ohio State Buckeyes to the Cleveland Indians. I am sure you will learn more about me as we go throughout this school year, but most importantly, I look forward to getting to know all of you!
