I knew that I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was very young! I
grew up in the Toledo area, and earned my Education degree from the
University of Toledo. I went all the way to Las Vegas to begin teaching
in 1997. After two years, I came back to the area and got married to
my wonderful husband! We have a daughter, Brooke, who is going into 7th
grade. And we have a son, Greg, who is going into 5th grade. This
summer I had a wonderful time with my family, especially my trip to
Washington D.C. with my kids.
I enjoy
change, and always look for new projects and ways to improve my
teaching. After 16 years, I still love teaching, and making learning
fun for my students. I'm really looking forward to the changes ahead
for this year. I do ask for your patience as some of these changes,
like new grade cards, online behavior plan, and state standards, may
take a little time to iron out the details!
Not
only do I enjoy coming to work to teach, I enjoy working with the
amazing staff at Whitehouse. I taught 4th grade alongside Mr. Pransky
in the past, and I am excited to team with him this year. He and the
other teachers help make coming to Whitehouse each day wonderful. To
the left is a picture of several of us at the Warrior Dash this summer.
(Maybe I can convince Mr. Pransky to join in next year!)
I
take educating my students very seriously. I want each of them to have
the best opportunity to continue a successful education, so that they
too can follow their dreams and enjoy a career that they love!
