Welcome! 

I am excited to be teaching 5th grade, and I look forward to working with students and families this year!  I began my teaching career at Coopersville Area Public Schools in 2004, after graduating from Grand Valley State University.  I live in Allendale with my husband, Scott, who is a statistician, and my daughter, Alivia.  In my spare time, I enjoy running, gardening, golfing, rollerblading, traveling throughout the United States and reading mysteries.  My favorite part of teaching 5th grade is the students and the love for learning and exploring!
