TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 7th year of teaching! I am currently teaching 2nd grade (my favorite grade) in Indiana. I've spent 6 of my 7 years in primary, where I've taught a 1/2 split and 2nd grade. I spent one year teaching 6th grade. I graduated from Asbury University in Kentucky with a degree in Elementary Education.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to keep my classroom interactive and upbeat. My students are challenged to think critically and justify their thinking. I also strive to make my classroom a second "home" for my students by creating an atmosphere of respect, love, and kindness. Work Hard. Be Kind.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I've received a personal, handwritten award from a student that says, "Best 2nd Grade Teacher Ever." :)

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Asbury University

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my incredible husband and our sweet baby girl. I love being crafty, gardening, and baking!
