Ever since I was in Kindergarten, I wanted to be a teacher. I absolutely loved my kinder teacher, Miss Klasier. She made learning fun and empowering. I want to encourage others to love learning as much as I do!

This will be my 26th year at Hidden Forest. I have taught 2nd grade (17 years), 3rd grade (6 years), 4th grade (2 years)! I love the Hidden Forest community! I feel very fortunate to have spent all of my teaching years here. I look forward to watching our 3rd grade Falcons continue to grow!

My family includes my husband Bill, Makenzie (Senior at Churchill), Josh (Freshman at Churchill), Joe (7th Grade at Bradley), and a labradoodle, Wrigley (Go Cubs!).
