About Me

         I currently hold a bachelor's in special education (K-12) and elementary education (K-8) and a master's degree in learning and technology. My husband, sister, and grandparents are teachers and I've been playing school since I was a little girl. 

      I like working with students of all ages and feel a passion for discovering what motivates each child who enters my room. I've always enjoyed getting to know what makes each person happy, calm, and engaged with learning. I feel that's what makes my students and classroom so successful. Our classroom is a family!

      I am the proud fur parent of  four cats named Marty, Opal, Jade, and Onyx. I also own two Russian Tortoises named Phineas and Ferb!

      As for family of the human variety, I have two fabulous kiddos, including one who attends the same school I teach at.  My husband is a high school social studies and science teacher.

We love to adventure as a family and take long roadtrips to explore!  We enjoy attending plays, movies, and  farmer's markets and have never turned down visiting indy bookshops. 

• Planners and stationery!  I love writing letters.

• Pens and markers- Any and all kinds!

• Reading - Pride and Prejudice is my favorite.  But I love all books!

• Cacti, Succulents, and plants - loved them before it was cool!

• Decor - I love a great theme and enjoy designing prints.

• Holidays - decorating and celebrating with family are the best!

• Coffee - an iced Americano is simply the best!

• TEACHING!!!!
