I was born in Mount Vernon and attended Mount Vernon City Schools. I studied at Mount Vernon Nazarene College and graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I completed my Master's Degree in 2013 in Elementary Reading and Mathematics. I am passionate about reading and I adore teaching children to read! I am a Certified Structured Literacy / Dyslexia Interventionalist and IMSE Orton-Gillingham Certified Educator.
I love to watch sports - GO BUCKS and CBJ!! There is nothing better than watching a live hockey game! My favorite season is spring when all of the colors return to nature and my favorite color is green. I love coffee and my students often comment about it!
I am happy to have remained part of the Mount Vernon community and I am honored to serve the children at Dan Emmett Elementary.
