Hello!
This is my sixth year of teaching, and my fifth year teaching at Windsor School. I LOVE MY JOB!
My Background
I was born in Lansing, Michigan, but I was raised in Franklin, Tennessee. (Franklin is about 15 minutes south of Nashville.) For college, I decided to branch out and travel far from home. I attended Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. After graduating, I moved back to Nashville and attended Lipscomb University where I obtained my Master of Education degree and an ESL endorsement. I taught for a year in Nashville at an urban middle school. I was a 5th and 6th Global Literacy teacher. The next summer, I moved to Arlington Heights and became a 2nd grade teacher at Windsor. I LOVED my second grade class and my new school. When they offered me the 5th grade position the next year, I was happy to accept. I love teaching intermediate students. Preteens are fun, they love to be challenged, and they love school!
