Welcome to second grade!  This is my 17th year of teaching and my sixth year in second grade.  I spent the beginning of my career teaching in Mountain Home where I taught fifth grade.  I moved to Spalding STEM Academy six years ago.  I am very excited to be working with your children!  I am a graduate of Boise State University, I have a master's degree of education from Lesley University, and I continue to go to workshops and take classes to improve my teaching practice.  I have two kids, Megan and Madison.  Megan will be finishing middle school this year and Madison is in 5th grade.  I also have a dog named Colin.  He is very sweet!  I like to watch movies, travel, swim, and go to amusement parks!  For more information about me, check out the "photos" link.
