2025 marks the beginning of my 8th year with Reeths-Puffer, my 3rd year in 5th grade, and my 17th year of teaching overall.  I'm a huge math nerd (originally an engineering major) and I enjoy teaching in active, hands-on ways.  I'm so grateful that I get to do what I love every single day, and I can't wait to share my passion teaching you/your kiddo!

Speaking of kiddos, when I'm not at school, I'm with my own two children and my husband. Our daughter, Karsyn, is a junior at Mona Shores High School.  She just finished her second season as a life guard at Michigan's Adventure and now works at Cinema Carousel.  Our son Michael (AKA Trey) is in 8th grade this year at Shore's Middle.  He plays football, wrestles, runs track, and golfs.   My husband is an Air Force veteran who now serves as a teacher and the head football coach at Holton (Go Red Devils!)  Rounding out our family are our naughty but snuggly dog, Bronko, and our crazy cats.  We also have a class pet, Pokey-hontas, the bearded dragon!

In my free time, I love to stay active! I recently resigned from coaching cheer here at RP in order to pursue my Master's Degree and be more available for our family, but I'm still a huge supporter of the cheer program and have also served as an MSHAA competitive cheer judge.  I am an avid gym-goer, outdoor enthusiast, and an all-around busy body.   As a family, we love to ride roller coasters, canoe, play board games, golf, and hang at the beach.  As a mom, I adore watching my kids play sports and participate in clubs/activities, taking too many pictures of everything they do, as well as baking sweet treats for their events.
