About Me
In 2012, I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. Along with this, I have a Social Studies major and an Integrated Science Minor. I am certified to teach K-8 Self-Contained classrooms and 6-8 Social Studies and Science.
I live in Petoskey with my adorable (not bias!) 4 year old son, Ryan. He has been my motivator and encourager to become what I am today. I don't think I could have done it without him!
After working as a substitute teacher for a few years and working in an online credit recovery classroom at the high school level, I was able to land my first teaching job just after graduating with my teaching degree. I taught a 3rd and 4th grade multi-age classroom at Northwest Academy in Charlevoix. I spent one year there before moving to Concord Academy in Petoskey to teach in another 3rd and 4th multi-age room.
I am currently in my last semester of earning a Master's of Arts in Educational Technology from Michigan State University. I look forward to integrating what I continue to learn everyday from my professional learning community and utilizing my resources to create an environment in my classroom that encourages learning.
