All about me!
I am originally from Pittsford, Michigan which is close to the Ohio/Michigan border. I graduated fom high school in 1999 and went to college at Lake Superior State University in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I completed a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and in Early Childhood Education.
I completed my student teaching at Tahquamenon Area Schools in Newberry, Michigan. I then got my first teaching job at Newberry's satellite school in Curtis, Michigan. The next year I was transferred back to Newberry Elementary where I taught third grade. I stayed within the Tahquamenon Area School district for six full years.
I wanted to be closer to my family and accepted a new job after the start of my seventh year at Newberry Elementary. I began teaching in Jonesville, Michigan in November of 2012. I will be starting my second full year at Jonesville Elementary where I will be teaching first grade.

Teaching Philosophy
Purpose:
My purpose is to provide children with an educational environment for all types of learners that is rich with kindness. I am attentive to my students' needs while caring for them and providing them with understanding. The quality programming I provide will help my students grow in all developmental areas.
Philosophy:
I believe in working with the whole child. I provide lessons that will enhance students' social, emotional, and cognitive growth, as well as fostering their independence. I provide them with activities and strategies that will enhance their character as well as strengthen their educational background. These activities include using technology to provide enrichments to high achieving students and interventions to struggling students.
