I have been teaching in West Bloomfield since 1994. I have taught grades 2 - 8 over the course of my career. I've found that my favorite grade to teach is whichever grade I'm currently teaching. Before teaching in the WB district I was a student at Ealy, OLMS and graduated from WBHS in 1989. I graduated with a Bachelors in Education from Michigan State University. I earned my masters in Instructional Technology from Wayne State and my Education Specialist in Educational Leadership through Oakland University. When I'm not teaching I'm spending time with my husband and three children.
