I have been teaching in Lake Orion since 2009. I spent one year teaching at Oakview Middle School before moving to Paint Creek where I've taught 3rd and 4th grade. I grew up in Novi, MI and lived there until I went to college. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Education with the Language Arts endorsement from Michigan State University as well as my Master of Arts in Education from Michigan State University with a focus in Literacy Education.
While at MSU I met my husband, Adam and we married in 2009. My son, Connor, was born May 24, 2015. I love being a mom and I love seeing him learn and do new things! We have four pets. Bitey is our corn snake who spends most of the year at Paint Creek. Trouble and Stella, our cats, and our dog Izzy live at home and keep us very busy.
I love to travel and try new things. I enjoy having the summer to explore places I've never been before. I also enjoy being active. I run and practice yoga regularly and I like to snowboard in the winter months.
