I am looking forward to being your child’s teacher this year. I grew up in West Michigan and attended Grand Valley State University where I studied Language Arts and Elementary Education. Prior to moving to Arizona, I taught in a multi-age classroom and worked as a paraprofessional. I spent the last year in Prescott Valley where I taught first grade. I am excited to be in Phoenix and to teach first grade at Fireside Elementary!

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or happy thoughts during the year. I am looking
forward to getting to know you and your family.  It is going to be a great year!
