My history
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Western Michigan University in 1997. I worked as a children’s in-home case manager in a metro Detroit mental health clinic for 5 years. While working with the children in their schools, I realized I was very interested in education, as well as mental health. I chose to return to school for an elementary certification. I earned my early childhood certification in 2002 from the University of Michigan, specializing in the Reggio Emilia approach to education. I was hired to teach at the GRCDC in 2002. I have been working in Discovery A with Kindergarten and First Grade students ever since. I also received my Master’s degree in early childhood from Western Michigan University in 2006.
I connect with
Photography, cooking, the outdoors and young children
