I am so excited to say this is my 5th year at OLP and it will be my 31st year in education. I have served as a classroom teacher in all grades K through 6th, taught as a reading specialist/interventionist, middle school science and reading instructor, and worked as a district-wide literacy coach. I hold a BA in Elementary Education, am middle school certified, and have an MA in Curriculum and Instruction from UCM. Retirement allowed me to spend more time with my four amazing boys, one granddaughter, and a new grandbaby on the way. Faith and family are my foundation of life. I am truly blessed to return to education to share my passion for learning with you and your family three days a week. I believe communication is the key to success. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for entrusting me to teach and guide your student this school year.
