I absolutely love teaching at Oakwood and I love being a part of this wonderful community! First grade is where I fell in love with reading, so I love watching first graders learn and grow as new readers. I love pilates, tennis, traveling, and exploring my favorite bookstores.

I have been teaching for 15 years! All of those years have been with K-8 students who need extra social emotional learning needs (SEL). I love teaching here at Oakwood in the lower grade SEL unit. Little kids are my favorite to teach. We have so much fun reading, doing math, art, working on speech, occupational therapy, and learning to live and play with friends.

I am so grateful to be at Oakwood! When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family, traveling with my husband, or taking a pilates class. I love being an Owl and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
