I grew up in the Birmingham School District.  I was fortunate enough to attend Beverly, Berkshire, and then graduated from Groves High School.  From there I attended Madonna University in  Livonia, MI on a volleyball scholarship.  I had an amazing four years playing college volleyball.  I graduated with my teaching degree from Madonna in 2003.  I also finished my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Assessment shortly after I was hired at Quarton.

In my spare time I enjoy playing and watching all types of sports.  I love going to all the local sporting events.  I am a huge Michigan State, Tigers, and Red Wing fan.  I also have a golden retriever named Murphy.  Murphy is a certified therapy dog which means he is able to visit hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, and schools.  We currently volunteer a couple times a week at Royal Oak Beaumont and also Beaumont's Children Hospital visiting patients, family visitors, and staff.

I absolutely love children and I have known since I was in second grade that I wanted to  be a teacher.  I love my profession and getting to know each of my students individually.
