Greetings! I am a 25 year veteran of Birmingham Public Schools currently teaching 4th grade at the absolute best elementary school in the district, West Maple. When I'm not honing my craft as an educator, you can find me expressing my creative passion on the stage, acting, singing, dancing, choreographing, and directing. It is this creativity I bring to the classroom to spark the imaginations and abilities of my students. 

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, Oakland University, and Concordia University with Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Elementary Education, and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
