I'm a kindergarten teacher at Traver Road Primary School. I graduated with my elementary education degree with a focus on early childhood education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I earned my master's degree as a literacy specialist from SUNY-Albany. I have been teaching kindergarten since 2001.

To address our district mission, I aim to encourage a love for learning through providing a safe, positive and equitable environment. The children will practice independence and social problem solving as they are a part of our classroom community. Academically, the children will be guided and respected based on individual needs, and will always be encouraged to do their best. It is also my mission to engage families in education. "It takes a village."
