Hi everyone! I completed my undergrad from [|MSU] in 1999. I postponed student teaching for several years and dabbled in HR for the automotive industry. My internship was in Mexicantown in Southwest Detroit. TE 831 is my third course in the MATC program since my internship. I have also taught middle school for a few years in River Rouge, MI. It was clear to me that elementary was my calling after a few years in middle school. My heart belongs to the younger students. The joy of sparking a love of learning is my favorite part of teaching. In addition to teaching, I was also a small business owner of a child's play center for several years. I'm looking forward to learning new and innovative ways to utilize technology in my classroom in order to be a more effective teacher to all my students.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary this summer after meeting during welcome week my freshmen year at [|MSU]. We have two amazing children, one in 4th grade, and the other in 2nd grade. Brian, my husband, has had the honor of actually teaching both of our daughters in lower elementary. My family loves the following activities, especially in the summer: racing in obstacle course runs (like [|Tough Mudder] and [|Warrior Dash]), biking, boating, swimming, hiking, traveling, camping, and hanging out with friends.
