As a teacher, I strive to help children not only understand the curriculum, but to see how it can be beneficial in their lives. My hope is that my students find their way through life making the best choices they can, and become best they can be using the tools given them. My degree is in Elementary Education, specializing in Science and Social Science. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but my favorites are reading, writing, and cooking. I have taught all ages in elementary school classrooms, and all subjects. In addition, I have led after-school science club, Sunday School, and tutored students who use English as a second language. My most recent experiences have been in physical education and art as a community volunteer.

I enjoy outdoor activities- especially biking, swimming, fishing, rollerblading and gardening; cooking anything yummy; puzzles; and being silly with my husband and 2 school-aged children. I also enjoy my labrador retriever who is very smart, but mostly thinks about his stomach. We're two peas in a pod.
