I have been a third (science), fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade teacher over the span of my career. I also taught seventh and eighth graders in elective classes.
I love creating a culture of respect, rewards, and fun in my classroom. I believe if a student feels loved and appreciated, they are open to learning and correction. I want the kids to know that I am there for them no matter what, and being part of the "family" of our classroom means there are times to give and receive. One of my favorite things is when past students return and hug me... I am thankful for serving them and their families.

Background and BS in Business Management
My background was in banking and marketing before I was blessed with my family. When my youngest was ready for Kindergarten, I decided to teach. I have now taught in Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grades. I have had all three of my own kids in my class and have had the greatest journey. Teaching is the hardest job I've ever had - but where else can you be a part of a child's life and be a second parent for a season? It's incredibly rewarding, sometimes frustrating, and always renewing itself.
