I have been at St. Andrew's School since 1992. During the first five years, I was the 8th grade homeroom teacher and taught 7th and 8th Grade Language Arts, Math, and Religion. Since 1997, I have served as the principal of the school and have taught a section of 7th and 8th Grade Math and 8th grade editing.

I have a Masters degree from Michigan State in the area of Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Mathematics.

I would prefer to be contacted via the school phone or my hotmail email account.

My educational philosophy is ...

"I believe all students can learn. I believe there are two key components to whether or not a child learns ...

- a positive student-teacher relationship

- a student's openness to grow."

Additional tidbits about me ...

If you had known me as a child, you never would have thought I would be where I am today ... personally and professionally.

I love the scent of skunks ... the "humanness of apes" amazes me ... cows are a collector's dream.

I never have enough time in the day to do all the reading I would want to do.

I love nature.

I unwind by shopping at Target! I actually dream of working there one day.
