I want to welcome you and your child to my classroom. This is my fifth year of teaching first grade at Chebanse Grade School. I received my bachelor's degree from Illinois State University and my master's degree from Olivet Nazarene University. I reside in Clifton with my husband, Greg, our two teenagers, Austin and Elizabeth, our two dogs, Rocko and Copper, and our cat, Mitzy. I enjoy reading, cooking, shopping, watching football, spending time with family and friends, and TEACHING!
