Welcome to 1st grade!

I am so excited for a fun-filled year together! I have been a 1st grade teacher in New Albany since 2013. I truly love this age group-- 1st graders are so eager, curious, enthusiastic, and fun to be around. Working with young learners has always been a passion of mine. I love the learning that takes place and each year I am constantly amazed at how much we all learn from each other!

A little more about me-- I graduated from The Ohio State University twice, once with my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education and then again with a Master’s degree in Education. I am a proud Buckeye through and through!

I grew up in Findlay, Ohio where I met my husband, Kyle. We have been married since 2014 and have two daughters, Isla (2016) and Lucy (2019). We love to cook & bake, spend time outdoors, visit local parks, and going to farmer's markets. We also have an ornery black cat named Harmony!

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year together in 1st grade!
