I am a graduate of the University of Michigan-Flint. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a Major in Social Science and a Minor in Language Arts. I have a Master Degree in The Art of Teaching that I received from Marygrove College. I also have an Early Childhood Degree. I have taught children for 27 years. My main focus has been first grade. However, I have experience with children in Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 6 as well. I firmly believe in the importance of education. It's crucial for a successful path in life. I will work hard to help students become successful learners while developing a lifelong appreciation for education.
