About Me

This is year 26 teaching. I have my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction w/ emphasis on the Arts. Married- 4 boys (22, 19, 13, 11). Oldest is married and in the Marines. Youngest 2 are both in middle school. 1 dog. Favorite Quote- too many, but a lot are from Princess Bride. "As you wish." I'm looking forward to a year that starts (and ends) like a traditional year. I'm looking forward to connecting with my new kiddos and developing a fun, engaging, and nurturing classroom. I enjoy reading and murder mysteries and True Crime.
