I am excited to be a part of the Irene King School Family and teach 3rd grade!   It is exciting to watch children grow academically throughout the year.   I am looking forward to a great school year. 

Prior to teaching 3rd grade, I have been a 5th grade teacher,  elementary reading specialist, reading recovery teacher, and a college professor.  I received my Master's Degree from Lewis University in reading.  

In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, 3 children, and 2 dogs.  We enjoy attending soccer games, traveling, and being outdoors.  

My classroom strategies can be described as a very nurturing yet focused environment attaining all academic standards while caring for each student's personal growth.
