Welcome to an exciting new school year! I am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with lots of learning and success. This is my 21st year of teaching. Learning is a journey filled with lots of surprises and discoveries along the way.  My philosophy in education is to instill a love of life-long learning in my students. I am married with two children, a 22-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son. My favorite hobby is reading! Reading is like a journey where you paint the pictures as you read the words and learn new things along the way.  I look forward to working with everyone!
