I was born and raised in Michigan. I moved to the Denver area in July 2003 and back to Michigan in 2011. I have taught Language Arts since 2003 and enjoy middle school students. I joined Muir Middle School staff in January of 2012.
I have my B.A in English/Language Arts from Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI. I went on to receive my Master's in Education from Aquinas College. From there, I completed an Educational Specialist Degree in Administration and Leadership from the University of Colorado in Denver, Colorado. I enjoy going to school and learning new ways to reach quality education and continuous improvement of the learning process. I have high expectations that are attainable if the effort and time is put into learning.
