I began my teaching career with my student teaching experience, in a third grade classroom, at OPS, 37 years ago!
I taught fourth grade here, for the first nine years of my teaching career, and have been the Talented and Gifted (TAG) Program teacher for the last 28 years.
Over my years at OPS, I have dedicated myself to enriching the educational experiences of children and their families, with fun and collaborative clubs after school. These clubs include: Family Math, Family Science, Continental Math League, Robotics Club, STEM experiences, and Odyssey of the Mind.
In my free time I enjoy A LOT of reading and some gardening.
