Education

Lake Erie College: BA (Elementary Education)

Miami University: MAT (Biological Sciences)

My first job after earning my BA in Elementary Education from Lake Erie College was a Marine Science Instructor. I have been a classroom teacher for over twenty years, teaching first, second and fifth graders. I am excited about teaching third graders Religion, Math and especially my favorite subject, Science. I love the ocean and learning about what lives in it.  While working on my Masters Degree I went to the Great Barrier Reef and was lucky enough to encounter a group of Manta Rays, and swim with hammerhead and zebra sharks.                       

When I’m not teaching, I’m spending time with my family, friends and my dog. I love to travel. My favorite places to explore are warm coastal areas, where I can be in or near my favorite place, the ocean.
