I am a true Yooper, originally from Escanaba, MI. I went to Northern Michigan University for my Bachelors degree in English and then earned my Masters in education from Aquinas College. I am in my thirteenth year of teaching; the last eleven here at GMS. I love teaching ELA because reading, writing and working with kids is such a large and enjoyable part of my life.



Outside of school, I love spending time with my family. We tend to enjoy the outdoors more than anything and can be found frequently fishing, boating, camping, gardening, snowmobiling and exploring the remote wilderness of the U.P.
