I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I also obtained a Master of Arts in Teaching and Curriculum with a Literacy focus from Michigan State University.
During my first three years here at LCA, I taught kindergarten. Prior to moving to Michigan, I taught in Illinois for two years. I taught both second grade and kindergarten.
I love working at LCA because of the community that exists within our school. Each day, I am surrounded by the smiles of my fellow co-workers, students, and their families.
My husband and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary in July. We have a Boston Terrier/Pug mix named Stella who we love to bring on walks. Family is very important to me, and I spend as much time with my parents and four siblings as possible. I love to read and travel. My husband and I have enjoyed exploring Michigan since moving here three years ago.
My family lives in a town east of Lansing. My mother and father live close by as well. We have a son in first grade my husband works with computers and motorcycles. We share our home with Monty and Brewster, our dog and cat. I love to go to movies, ride bikes and am trying my hardest to get to the gym whenever I can!
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Eastern Michigan University majored in Mathematics and minored in Integrated Sciences. I am pursuing a Masters degree in K-12 Administration from Michigan State University.
My first 2 years at LCA, I taught math and science to 6th graders. This year I taught math to 7th and 8th graders.
LCA is full of amazing, positive, hardworking, and flexible staff. Everyone is so supportive of each other and are willing to go out of their way to help students achieve. With that said, the staff isn’t my favorite thing about LCA. The students are what I like most about working at LCA. The students are so inquisitive and eager to learn. They are the reason I truly enjoy working at LCA.
