Welcome!

I am excited to begin my 16th year teaching in the Jackson School District!  This will be my third year as the Reading Specialist at Switlik Elementary School.  I also taught first grade for 8 years and I was a literacy intervention teacher too. 

My favorite thing to teach is READING because it is part of everything we do!  A few of my favorite books are The Hungry Caterpillar, Llama, Llama Red Pajama, the Frog and Toad Series, , Fish in A Tree and ANYTHING by Mo Willems, Peter Reynolds, or Robert Munsch. 

I live in Jackson with my husband of 27 years and my two children, Nicholas and Mariella. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, collecting sea glass at the beach, and reading of course! 

I look forward to building relationships with the learners, families and teachers of the Switlik School this year!
