Summary
I am devoted to fostering a motivating, joyful, and adaptable, learning environment for children and their families. As a colleague, I value teamwork, collaboration, and positive problem solving.
After teaching Kindergarten and First Grade in Mahomet-Seymour for 8 years, I took some time off to be a stay-at-home mom. During this period, I homeschooled and taught online and in-person classes for children in grades K-4.
