My own education history
I am a graduate of Indiana University. I had the opportunity to complete their Cultural Immersion Program, and was able to spend half of my student teaching in Oxfordshire, England!
Of course, the best teacher has been time. I have learned so much in my six years of teaching from my students, my colleagues, and from reflecting on myself. I can't wait to see what the next thirty years teach me!
Additional biographical information
I loved school as a child. I loved learning. I loved becoming a confident reader. I loved having my curiosity stoked.
This is my aim for my students. I want to help create eager, confident learners. Every day I try to show my class that learning is exciting and that learning can take you anywhere you want to go!
