Eleven years of teaching experience. Eight in preschool and one in fifth grade, two in young fives (also known as transitional kindergarten). Most of my resources have an early childhood focus.
A healthy balance of silly and structured with a whole lot of love! I STRONGLY believe in building positive relationships with your students and their families from the get-go. Those relationships go a long way all year long!

Fun facts: Mom to a beautiful daughter who has fully entered the toddler years (yikes). I love Harry Potter way too much for someone in their 30's. If I could have a superpower, it would be the ability to turn life into a musical.
