I started teaching in 2000. I taught for 14 years in Port Huron schools, a year in Acworth, Georgia, a year in Marsyville, and 2 years at Landmark Academy before coming to Richmond. I have taught 5th through 8th grades, and summer school to 2nd graders. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher, when I started babysitting at the age of 10. I have been teaching for 22 years now, and still find that I am very passionate about working with kids and helping them find their passions in life as well. I believe I have a firm, but fair attitude towards teaching and believe all students are capable of learning.
Outside of the Classroom:
In addition to my teaching duties, I am also a Mom to a 13 year old daughter named Izzy. She is currently in 8th grade and attends the middle school in Marysville. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, reading, traveling, and acting. I grew up in Memphis, Michigan, and have 2 older brothers; and 4 nieces.
