A Little About Me…I graduated from Oakland University’s teaching program. I have a masters degree from Marygrove in the Art of Teaching. and a masters degree from Oakland University in Educational Leadership.
This is my ninth year teaching. I have been in the Huron Valley School District for all of my years in teaching. I was hired as a second grade teacher, where I taught for 2 years. From there I taught a 2/3 combination class and stayed in third grade for 5 years after. I made the move to first grade over the summer.
My husband and I have 2 children: Aidan and Addison. We also have 2 shih tzus; Daphne and Izzy.
