The 2023-2024 school year marks my sixth year teaching 4th grade here at Maroa-Forsyth Grade School. However, prior to teaching here, I worked for three years in Northwest Indiana where I taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I was even named Northwest Indiana's Teacher of Excellence in 2017.

I grew up in Alton, Illinois.

I later attended Illinois College in Jacksonville where I received my degree in elementary education with a middle school math endorsement. Sometimes I still laugh at the fact that at 18 years old, I thought I wanted to be a middle school math teacher because it's just so obvious to me now that fourth grade is truly where my heart belongs.

Fourth grade is honestly such a fun year with so many exciting learning opportunities. It is, without a doubt, my favorite grade!

One of the most important goals that I always put in place for myself is to create a family of learners. I am committed to creating an environment where every student is a valued, trusted, and an integral part of our class family.
