I have taught at Kokomo Center Schools for 18 years and have had the pleasure of teaching 2nd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade. I received my Elementary Education degree from Indiana University and my Masters in Education with a Reading Specialty from Olivet Nazarene University. My husband and I have twins who grew up in Kokomo, graduated from Kokomo High School, and graduated from Ball State University. I believe that each child is unique and deserving of engaging opportunities to learn and enjoy learning. My goal is to provide a challenging learning environment and create a classroom community where each child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
