I graduated from UW-Eau Claire in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. I started teaching in Grafton in 2005, and have worked at both Woodview and GES. I have spent most of my years teaching Early Childhood students, but have also acted as a special education support teacher for students in 4K-1st grade. I am currently teaching at Woodview Elementary School

As an early childhood teacher, I help both students and parents start a new phase of life: the school years. It is my goal to help all my students prepare for the life ahead of them. In the preschool years, some might look at academics and forget other key elements for success in school. In my classroom, each child works toward individual goals that address strengths and weaknesses in their learning. Our curriculum includes all aspects of development: cognition, language, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, and daily living skills. The best way to help kids learn is to make it fun and constantly involve them in opportunities to practice new skills, and I can't wait to get started!!
