I love my job! I have a passion for reading, technology, and research. I enjoy having the opportunity to share that love with my students. I serve students 3rd grade-5th grade.
I focus on preparing my students to be lifelong users of ideas and information through using technology, research, and teaching them how to be successful 21st century learners.
