I am excited about teaching first grade again this year. My teaching repertoire includes teaching middle school science for 5 years and teaching at Madden for 9 years. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my three daughters along with working out. It is my honor and pleasure to have your child in my classroom family.  I will be facilitating and guiding your students to become independent thinkers and learners.  My goal is to create a warm, inviting, and safe community so that all students can maximize their potential.  I believe all your children can succeed and look forward to partnering with you to make this a fantastic year!
