This is my tenth year teaching in the School City of Hobart.  This is also my second year teaching at Liberty. I previously taught at Joan Martin for eight years.  I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and my Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Ball State University. In my free time, I enjoy watching the Cubs, traveling, reading, running/exercising, and spending time with my family and friends.  I have a 2 year old little girl named Kylee who is the light of my life.  My husband, Justin, and I are both big animal lovers.  We have a dog named Tess, two cats named Chloe and Carmen, and two fish named Sunshine and TJ (Tuna Jr.). I am very passionate about education and self-reflection.  My mission as an educator is to promote life-long learning in a safe, effective, and caring learning environment, where my students feel empowered to reach their full potential. 

 

"Education is a social process.  Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself." -John Dewey

"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way."

  -Karen S. Magee

"If you have the time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it." -Anthony J. D' Angelo
