What's your most prized possession on your desk, in your office or workspace? A small glass heart that was given to me by one of my professors.  It represents the passion I have for teaching.  Each day will be different, and not every day will be easy.  I have this heart to remind me how much I love my job!

Favorite year of school as a student: Second grade

Favorite movie that takes place at a school: “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

Favorite non-required reading: “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee

When you’re not teaching, you’re ____:  Doing an activity outside (ex:  Cardinal game, walking at the park, sitting on my patio)

What else would you like Lindbergh families to know? I am very excited for the upcoming school year.  I cannot wait to learn about my students and watch them grow! GO FLYERS!!
