I am so excited to be teaching at Oakland! This will be my sixth year teaching first grade at Oakland; prior to that, I worked at Oakland as a paraprofessional supporting students with special needs and teaching reading intervention groups. I am really looking forward to co-teaching with Mrs. Johnson this year! I love the Oakland community!
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Family Relations and Human Development and my Master's Degree in Elementary Education from The Ohio State University. Before moving to Bloomington and taking time to raise my family, I taught second grade in Columbia, South Carolina and Baltimore, Maryland.
My husband Erik is a zookeeper at Miller Park Zoo. We have two boys, Avery and Blake. Avery is a sophomore at Bloomington High School and Blake is in seventh grade at Bloomington Junior High. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies and spending time with my family.
Here are a few of my favorite things!
