About Me
I am excited to begin this school year as I enter my eighth year of teaching. Even though I minored in education in college, I never actually pictured myself as a teacher and am so glad that God led me to this path.
I have been married to David for five years, and we have two daughters, Elsie and Emma. Most of my free time is spent with the three of them and we love to go on bike rides or take trips to the pool, zoo, or farmers markets.
