I graduated from Towson University with a degree in Elementary Education. I am dual certified in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. I have had the pleasure of teaching in Howard County for two years now. I am happy to be a part of the kindergarten team here at Elkridge Elementary School again this year. I feel really blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family of teachers, parents and amazing students.
At home, I have a wonderful, supportive husband and one beautiful, amazing daughter and another on the way. My new bundle of joy is due in late September. I enjoy spending quality time with my family. In my spare time I like to volunteer at Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department. I have been a firefighter, rescue technician, and swiftwater rescue technician for twelve years and a paramedic for eight years.
I am excited to be working with your children this year.
