About Me

I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was eight years old. This dream of becoming a teacher came a teacher I had who was a little different than the rest. I knew whole heartedly she cared about my personal success and most importantly….ME! She made our lessons so much fun that I would go home and teach my pretend class the same lessons each day. Today I have the opportunity of being that special teacher for my students. I get to show children that learning is an adventure and I get the privilege of leading the expeditions and join in all the fun! My passion for learning and love for life is contagious to my students and the smiling faces of happy students are my daily reward. I believe learning should be fun and invoke lasting memories that help lead to a life long love of learning.
I love my family, teaching, seeing students smile, the outdoors, horses, camping trips, traveling, making picture slideshows, and of course...the color purple (as you might notice in our classroom).

Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.

help them to become what they are capable of being.
