I have an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education K-8 and Special Education K-12. I have a masters degree in Literacy and Curriculum Development. I have been teaching in PSD for 21 years.
I love many things including fourth grade, my husband, Neil, my son, Isaac, and my sweet girl, Grace. Besides teaching and spending time with my family, I enjoy running, reading, yoga, and exploring our great state. My favorite foods are black beans, avocados, dark chocolate, and coffee. I am learning to become a highly effective person thanks to the Leader In Me and Covey's seven habits. Lately, I've been working really hard to master habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. As I get better at this habit, I will be better at finding WIN-WIN situations and better at meeting the needs of the learners in my classroom! Fourth grade is truly the best and I'm looking forward to another great year.
