I am so fortunate to have been teaching for over twenty years. I truly love guiding and interacting with children throughout the learning process. I believe that being a parent is the greatest gift that there is. My own  three children are grown and thriving! My eldest daughter is a Major in the United States Air Force, and is working at the Pentagon. My middle daughter, owns her own business and helps people all over the world, as well as, being a certified nutritionist. My son is an Electrical Engineer. As for myself, I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Degree from the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio and a Masters Degree in Arts and Teaching from Montclair University in Montclair, New Jersey.

Did I mention that I am a grandmother? I am, and it is priceless! Another thing that is priceless, is working with eight and nine year old children. Each day is different and happy. Honestly, it doesn't get any better than this! I am grateful for a wonderful family, friends, and working for the Allendale School district, where a "Tradition of Excellence" represents not only academic success but the growth and well being of each individual person!
