TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 18th year of teaching. I taught my first seven years in Clay County, Florida; as a fifth grade teacher and a first grade teacher. We then moved back to our home state- Michigan (The Mitten)! Since then, I've spent six years in second grade and three years in fourth grade. Now, I am back in second grade and loving it!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelors in Language Arts, and a minor in Elementary Education.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

My husband and I moved to Florida in 2006, so that I could teach 5th grade. After almost 8 years, we moved back to Michigan. I have a son that is in 8th grade and a daughter in 5th grade.
