Welcome to Carpenter School!  I am a 4th generation born and raised in Ann Arbor.   I attended the Ann Arbor Public Schools at Haisley Elementary, Forsythe Middle School and Pioneer High School.  I continued at Eastern Michigan University, where I earned an undergraduate and graduate degree, along with +30 credit hours from various colleges and universities.  I am currently starting my 29th year at Carpenter School, or my 32nd year in the district.  I am married to my wonderful husband, Mike. 

We have 2 dogs, Cody "my buddy" Sheltie, who's 13 1/2 years old, and his sister Phoebe, a 16 month old silver lab.  They take up much of our free time.  I enjoy watching or attending UofM sports, especially hockey, working jigsaw puzzles, and doing crafts (needlepoint, making ornaments).
