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 24th year at Carpenter School, or my 27th years in the district.  I am married to my wonderful husband, Mike.  We have 2 sheltie dogs, Casey and Cody, who take up much of our free time.  I also have 2 stepsons.  Michael is currently serving in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Seattle, WA and is married to Melissa.  They have blessed us with two of the most special gifts:  granddaughter Kennedy 5 years and grandson Mason is 3 years old.  We try to visit them as often as we can.
