I graduated from Mattawan High School in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and then went to Western Michigan University (WMU). I played college softball for the Broncos for four years and graduated with a bachelors degree in education. I spent my college years and my last ten years of teaching coaching various sports too. I have coached softball and basketball. I have coached at the high school level as well as youth travel leagues.

In My Classroom
Some beliefs in my classroom are...
*Hard work *Compassion *Dedication *Risk-taking *Problem solving *Creativity *Pride *Leadership
*Team work *Friendship *Patience *Growth *Focus *Attentiveness *A Will to Succeed
*Make a difference every day *Self correct *Honesty *Goal seeking *Kindness *Cooperation
*Responsibility *Acceptance *Never stop trying *Love *Forgiveness *Learning *Positive attitude
One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I want all my students to leave my room with a sense of PRIDE in themselves! I am such a person and will always strive to be the best educator that I can be.
