I am positive that all students have the ability to learn through their natural curiosity. I always structure my classroom to ensure that each child is given the best opportunity to be successful. This is done through differentiation as well setting instructional goals so that every child has an equal chance to be successful.

I have obtained my bachelors degree in elementary Education from Illinois State University. Furthermore, I am currently working on my masters in elementary education from Western Illinois University.

I am preparing to begin my 4th year of teaching 6th grade. During this time I have taught Science, Language Arts, and Math. I have also had the opportunity to teach gifted level students through our program.

I have been coaching Jr. High Track & Field as well as Football for the last 3 years. I have also been the organizer for our Jr. High Science fair for the past 2 years.
