About Me

Have you ever heard the saying, "Time flies when you are having fun?" Well,  I am pretty sure that I have been having TONS of FUN teaching because the last 12 years have flown by!  I spent the first five years of my career teaching in a mixed age classroom (1st and 2nd grade) and as a Title I Reading Specialist K-5 after receiving my Masters in Teacher Education.  Currently I am a second grade teacher at the most AMAZING school, with the most AMAZING students and the most AMAZING teachers!

I love to explore the world with my husband, two children, and our dog, Frankie. I also love to garden, swim, hike, whitewater raft, fish, ski, mountain bike, camp, create, read, read, and read some more.  I am curious about the world and am not afraid to try new things.

I believe that joy and wonder are at the heart of learning and that each child has a unique learning path which I am excited to join them on this year. You can get a better idea about some of my core beliefs about learning by visiting the following websites:
