This is my 9th year  teaching elementary-age students. Before that, I taught preschool for five years. I am originally from Michigan but have also lived in Washington and Pennsylvania. I have a four-year-old daughter named Valorie who keeps me very busy. I also raise cattle and have been starting up a family farm over the last few years. I enjoy traveling, swimming, and being in nature. I hope to learn with your child and allow for a safe and creative learning environment this school year.
