I discovered my passion for teaching while running a daycare in my home when my son was in kindergarten. I attended Baker College where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, with certifications from Madonna University in Language Arts and Early Childhood Education.
On a personal note, I have been married for 22 years. My husband, children, and I enjoy spending time together camping, traveling, and participating in "family game nights". My son is a sophomore in college and is studying to become an elementary school teacher. My daughter will be a sophomore in high school and enjoys gymnastics, cheerleading, and weight training. We have a Border Collie/Lab mix who was very sick but hopefully on the road to recovery. Our beloved cat, Timber (more commonly referred to as simply "kitty") provides us with great entertainment as he chases his tail at the little beams of light we flash his way.
