Welcome! It is my pleasure to spend this fifth grade year with your child. A recent Colorado import, my educational experience includes twenty-nine years of fifth & sixth grade teaching in west Michigan at both the elementary and middle school levels. As a parent, coach, youth leader, and active community member, my goal as an educator is to prepare your child with the academic, social, and emotional skills necessary to succeed with confidence in an ever-changing world. Lessons will include opportunities for students to employ critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication. My craft will demonstrate connecting academic standards in relevant contexts to my students and their interests on a daily basis.
My interests outside of school include an abundance of outdoor activities including running, skiing, hiking, kayaking, camping and traveling. I have a daughter who teaches science education in New York City.
