I have been teaching for more than three decades. I have taught kindergarten through second grade including five years in a co-teach setting and one year in a multi-age classroom I was club advisor for 3rd grade Readers' Theater for three years. Classical and soft instrumental music is used in my classroom to foster creativity and concentration. I am married with two adult children. I enjoy cooking, reading, completing crossword puzzles,  listening to music, planning family events, and spending time with family and friends.
