Hello!  I am so happy to be teaching 2nd grade at Lowell Elementary this year.  I have been in the field of education for 14 years now.  Teaching 2nd graders in a classroom setting is a new adventure.  My past includes being a 1st grade classroom teacher, Reading Specialist for grades k-6th, a Title 1 Intervention Specialist, Title 1 Instructional Coach, and now a 2nd grade classroom teacher.  
I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho.  I attended college at University of Idaho.  I moved to southern Idaho for 10 years and began my little family.  I have 2 children who are my everything.  They are currently in 6th and 2nd grade.  

I understand that I am not alone when I say my children are my everything.  I teach your little blessings and am lucky enough to spend every day with them encouraging them to take ownership of their learning and teach them as much as I can with in the year of 2nd grade.
