Hello and welcome to 5th grade.  This is my 16th year teaching and my 6th year at Underwood Elementary School.  I recieved my undergraduate degree from Mount Mary College and my graduate degree from Walden University.  My teaching experiences include teaching 1st, 4th, 5th, and middle school Reading and Language Arts.  I enjoy teaching 5th graders because of their fun personalities and outlook on the world.  When I'm not with my school family, I spend most of my free time with my husband, first grade daughter, and one-year old son.  We like to spend our time traveling and visiting family, playing outside, or looking for new adventures.
