Hello!  I am so excited for my 7th year with IA, and my 14th year as an educator!  I have taught almost every grade from Early Start Kindergarten to 8th grade, 8th grade being my favorite age group.  I love expeditionary and experiential 24 learning and try to incorporate as much of it into the year as possible.  I have a curious mind myself, and being able to foster the curiosity of students is incredibly fulfilling.

 

I love nature, being in nature and giving students the opportunity to fall in love with it.  I am an avid reader, love being active, camping, exploring, cooking/baking and being with friends, family and loved ones.  

 

I have two amazing children of my own, one who will be completing his time at IA this year. I love that IA is a community that extends its arms to our furry kids as well.  My first year at IA, my students were able to help raise the 12 puppies that my two dogs (Parker and Clyde) created.  Any place where you are greeting with doggy kisses is amazing.
