Biography

I was born and raised in the area. I have a Michigan teaching certificate, and I taught for over 15 years. I have experience in first, third and fourth grades. My experience as a classroom teacher caused me to want to learn more about how to effectively teach reading. I pursued a Masters degree in Reading and transitioned to working as a Reading Intervention teacher. While working in that role, I began working as an adjunct at SAU, teaching a course in reading assessment. Eventually, that experience led me to pursue full-time employment in the School of Education. I teach courses in early childhood education, reading, and critical skills for educators. I live nearby with my husband and two children. 

Education

Bachelor of Arts from Alma College in Elementary Education with the Early Childhood Endorsement

Masters in Reading from Spring Arbor University

Why SAU

I never planned to teach at the college level. An opportunity arose to try something new and challenge myself several years ago as an adjunct professor. I was surprised how much I loved working with the students. The energy, passion, optimism and fun of the students, along with my desire to keep learning, is what brought me to SAU.
