About Me

Hello!  I am so excited for my second year at Independence Primary School this year. 

 

A little bit about what I did before coming to IPS...

 

This is my 17th (yikes!!) year teaching. I graduated from Ohio University in 2000 with my degree in Elementary Education and my K-12 reading endorsement. I then moved to Columbus and began working on my master's degree in Language and Literacy at The Ohio State University. While doing so, I taught in the Groveport Madison Local School District (near Columbus) for five years. I was a Title One Intervention Specialist for two years, and then taught second grade for three years.  After finishing my Masters Degree, I moved back to the Cleveland Area and spent ten years teaching in Garfield Heights, where I was a second grade and third grade looping teacher.

 

Personally....

 

I am a wife and mommy.I am blessed with two wonderful daughters, Chloe, age 6; and Abby, age 4; and an amazing stepson Brandon, age 14. I love to read, run, laugh, create, and spend time with my family. I enjoy country music and have a passion for all things DIsney. I thrive on finding new ways to make learning fun for my own children and my students!
