Personal Comments:

"I began my teaching career in Wigan, England in 1995.  My husband and I moved from England to Michigan in 2000, and I became part of the 3/4 team at BCS in 2002.  I have 2 daughters, Olivia and Eleanor and a pet goldfish (yes, that does count!)  We enjoy 'leisurely' biking, the theater, movies and spending time with family on our trips back to the UK.

I love teaching at BCS and feel fortunate to be part of a team that is passionate about engaging kids, developing deep thinkers and building strong classroom communities through character education.  At BCS we're all about valuing our 3E's (Education, Environment and Each Other.)"
