This is my 28th year of teaching in the Ann Arbor Public Schools and my 16th year here at King Elementary. I am proud to be part of such a wonderful community! I am a product of the Ann Arbor Public Schools where I was inspired by my first grade teacher at Lawton to become just like her! I left Ann Arbor briefly to attend Western Michigan University and later earned my master’s degree from Marygrove. I am a life-long learner and always take advantage of opportunities to further develop myself as an educator.

     I have a wonderful, supportive husband and two children, Garrison, 23 years old, and Madelynn, 21 years old. Garrison is a fifth year senior at Western Michigan University and Madelynn is a senior at Western Michigan University. They are both in the Business School.

     I am a BIG fan of U of M and Detroit sports and you can find me in the Big House every home game in the fall! I also enjoy spending time with my family, swimming, camping, and traveling.
