I have worked at my local school district for the last 16 years. I worked as a paraprofessional while earning my Bachelor's Degree in Education. I am now in my 9th year as second grade teacher. I recently graduated with my Master's Degree in Education: Curriculum and Instruction.
I am a laid-back teacher, but I have very high expectations for my students. I love learning new things, and learning about the Science of Reading is my newest endeavor.

I'm a teacher, a boy mom (of teens!), and a wife. I love to create things. I am definitely crafty. We love to go camping and explore nature as a family.
