This is my 9th year at Country Trails! I have been teaching fourth grade here since the building opened in 2007. The school and our families support our students to become their best, and I'm proud to be a part of that. I love teaching 4th grade! I enjoy the subjects we cover, and really appreciate students at this age. I try to make our classroom a place of respect, and where students feel comfortable to take risks. I love incorporating technology whenever possible to enhance classroom lessons.
I live in Elgin with my husband Scott, and our two sons Matthew (4) and Nathan (9 months). I also have one very demanding cat, Dixie. I enjoy travelling whenever possible. Matthew has already been earning frequent flier miles, and he's only 4! My students also learn very early on that Target is one of my favorite stores. You can find me there often, especially later in the evenings. It is a special treat when I can escape there by myself for a decent amount of time.
