Hello!  I am excited to be teaching kindergarten at the Northridge Primary!  I believe kindergarten is an important year of school.  This is the year students begin their formal education.  I am honored to be a part of it.  I love watching students explore, investigate,discover, and learn!  One of my goals for kindergarten is to instill a love of learning and reading in my students.

I have been teaching at Northridge for 17 years.  I have taught kindergarten for 12 years (my favorite), third grade for 4 years, and sixth grade for one year.  I received my undergaraduate education degree from Miami University and my masters degree in education from Mount Vernon Nazarene University.   My husband, 2 children, and I live in Centerburg.  My son Andrew is 12 years old and in the 6th grade. My daughter Elizabeth is 5 years old and attends preschool.  I love spending time with my family, reading, baking, and camping.
