Hello parents, guardians, and students! I am excited to begin my first year teaching Special Education at Pepper Ridge Elementary! I received my Bachelors Degree in education from Boise State University. I am dually certified in K-8 Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education, and have an endorsement in literacy. I student taught at the 3rd grade level, as well as in an Extended Resource and Resource Room setting. I value the learning of each and every student, and strongly believe that every child can learn. My goal as a teacher is to provide a safe and positive learning environment that embraces all learning abilities. I am looking forward to a great year helping your childen reach their goals!
