I have been teaching since 1997, after graduating from Mount Vernon Nazarene University. In 2000, I earned my Masters Degree from Marygrove College, and taught at Utica Elementary School until 2011 when I joined the staff at Pleasant Street Elementary as the Title I Math teacher. I became licensed as a Master Teacher in Ohio in 2020. I've been teaching third grade at Pleasant Street since 2016.
Outside of school, I enjoy the great outdoors, traveling (I've visited all 50 states), rock collecting, reading, playing with LEGOs, designing book covers for Mrs. Bartal with Photoshop, and playing guitar.
