I have been blessed to teach at Eastridge Elementary since 2004.  My first eleven years were spent teaching third grade, and I have been teaching fifth grade science since 2015.  I have lived in Red Oak since 1995 and have a  daughter, Grace, who is a senior at Red Oak High School.  My son, Nick, graduated from ROHS in 2015.   I also have three amazing dogs and one cat who thinks he is the ruler of the household.  My hobbies include reading, hiking, kayaking, and gardening.  I love to be outdoors, and I love teachings science!
