After attending Seaholm High School, I was able to study at another wonderful school, the University of Michigan! I enrolled in the school of education during my third year at the University, and loved working with all grade levels of students. I especially loved helping students in upper elementary school and middle school. After graduating with honors, I started my job search.
I'm sure I have found my fit here at Clifford H. Smart Middle School, where I have been able to join two of my passions, mathematics and teaching. My first five years went well, and I really enjoyed working with many wonderful students.
I have also recently finished my master's degree in Curriculum and Teaching at Michigan State University. In addition to a perfect 4.0 "report card" I also earned a certificate in technology use in education.
This past summer I became a part of the Galileo Leadership Academy. I will be a part of about 80 teachers from around the Detroit area who will take part in classes meant to develop teacher leadership in order to help students learn better. I hope to learn a lot and be able to implement ideas into our classroom and school. :)
