Education
I graduated with a BA from Saginaw Valley State University. I have worked with children in some capacity my entire career! I enjoyed 13 years at an elementary school in Frankenmuth, 6 of those years were spent in preschool. For many years, I had the privilege of working with children and their families who were a part of the Special Education program. I am an advocate for ALL children regardless of their abilities. For the past 4 years, I have been the Early Literacy Specialist at the Wickson District Library in Frankenmuth. Why teach?
I honestly get excited when I am around children. Their energy is contagious! There is nothing better than seeing a child grow and develop right before your eyes! Getting to know each child individually and fostering a love for education is such an amazing opportunity! interests & hobbies
I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy boating, painting, reading, bike riding, SUP, walking, and my dog, Finley! |
