This is my 17th year at Beverly Elementary.  I taught second grade for 9 years and have now been in fifth grade for 8 years.

I am passionate about teaching kids to be critical thinkers.  I want them to problem solve, think creatively, collaborate, and share their learning with authentic audiences.

I also feel very strongly about social justice issues.  We live in a diverse, complex world, and I hope to encourage my students to think outside of themselves and appreciate the differences in others.
