I have been an early childhood teacher for the past 15 years. This is my 7th year teaching kindergarten and my 5th year at Pattison. I believe that hands-on learning and individualized instruction are key to building confident and well-prepared learners! I am excited to get to know my new students and embark on a year of discovery! I have been married to my amazing husband Jonathan, who is also a teacher, for 17 years. Together we have three daughters, two of whom are proud Pattison Colts! In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing video and board games with my kids, playing the piano, running, and hiking.
