TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This will be my 24th year as a teacher. I taught Pre-K through 6th Grade Special Education, Learning Disabilities and Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities for 11 years. I then decided I would like to try the regular education classroom setting. I taught 1st Grade and 2nd Grade for 1 year each, and now this will be my 7th year in 4th grade.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Firm, fair, caring, structured, flexible, creative, inspiring, student & learning centered, collaborative, results oriented, strive for continuous improvement

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Well, I did have a student tell me last year that I was "like totally the best teacher in the universe..." Does that count? ;)

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have my Bachelor's Degree from UW-Eau Claire in both Elementary Education and Special Education-Learning Disabilities. My Master's is also from UW-Eau Claire in Professional Studies and Special Education.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I am both honored and blessed to teach children. My husband is the Elementary School Principal at our school. It is a joy to serve the students and families of our district together. We have a beautiful family with six children, ages 18 to 25. In addition to teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, gardening, creating, golfing, reading, kayaking, traveling, writing, sewing, and so much more!
