Family: My husband Michael and I moved to the Grand Rapids area when we got married in 2011 having both grown up in the Metro Detroit area. Michael teaches 6th grade in another district. Two years ago we bought a house in Rockford and have come to call this "home."
On September 17th, 2015, our son, Griffin Jayce, was born. We are so in love with him!
We also love our mini hot dog, Noel. :)
Education & Certifications: I graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and hold a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a minor focus in Math and a major focus in Language Arts. I have a Michigan Teaching Certificate for grades K-8 and plan to continue towards my Master's Degree in the near future. I have been teaching 2nd grade in Rockford for over 3 years now and did my student teaching here at Crestwood in 2011 with Mrs. Sanders! I am passionate about what I do and enjoy every minute of working with these great kids! I am a part of the district's writing committee and have had the opportunity to be a part of the School Improvement Team here at Crestwood.
My Favorites: I love the great outdoors - tent camping, hiking, walking, kayaking, traveling, and basically anything active. I am a morning person through and through! Anything containing dark chocolate is good for the soul. :) I enjoy learning and growing and trying new things every year in my classroom. We are going to have a great year together!
