Meet the Teacher

I started teaching at Big Hollow in 2008.  From 2004-2008 I was teaching first grade at a private school.  I received my Bachelors in 2000 from Eastern Illinois University.  I then went back to school to pursue my teaching certificate in 2002 from Trinity Christian College. I graduated with my elementary teaching certificate in 2004.  Recently I graduated from the American College of Education with a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

I've had a passion for teaching since I was little.  I love it when I see the
light go on when a child finally figures something out! 

I am the middle child in my family.  I have an older brother that resides in
Wisconsin and a younger sister that resides in Illinois.  My mom, dad, sister
husband, brother-in-law and myself are all teachers.  I guess it runs in the
family.

I currently live in the surrounding area with my husband, Eric and our son
Zachary.
