Originally from Florida, I moved to Idaho in 1992 and I´ve never looked back! After owning a business with my husband for several years, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. I attended Boise State University (GO BRONCOS!) where I received my Bachelor´s degree in Elementary Education in 2005. I also obtained my Master´s degree from Lesley University in 2011.

I started teaching at the old McKinley Elementary in 2006. I came to Morley Nelson the first year we opened in 2008 as one of the 6th grade teachers (I also spent two years in 5th grade). I prefer working with the older students - I like their ability to communicate about the various subjects - and I like their sassiness! I have been lucky to have come into contact with several of the same families and many siblings through the years.

I care deeply about your child´s education and academics and I am very focused on offering the highest quality of instruction to each and every student in my classroom.
