I've taught for over 24 years in grades 4th and 5th. I began teaching full time with the Waterloo School District in 2003. My husband Kurt and I have two daughters. Erin is in her second post graduate year in Art History at Northwestern University. Samantha is a second year law student at Columbia University in New York City.

I'm very excited to be at Gardner Elementary.  I look forward to a great year with my fifth grade class!
