Welcome to my homepage!  I'm so glad you stopped by for a  visit. I'd love to have you stay awhile and see what's here!  

For more information about me, read on!

I am a graduate of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. When I first started teaching, I taught Language Arts to students in grades 7-12.   Several years later, I earned my Master's Degree in Gifted Education. This year marks my 13th full year in elementary gifted education.

My husband and I have four children, two of whom are now married.  We are also the grandparents of Kylen (currently 2 1/2 ) and Ward (1 1/2 ).

I first came to Westerville City Schools in 2012, and I loved it!  Since then, I've spent a year at each grade level 3rd - 5th.  This is my second year teaching 4th grade.

In addition to teaching, I love to read, garden, bake, and spend time with family.
