I'm looking forward to beginning a new year in seventh grade. This will be sixteen years at Wakefield Middle School. I have taught both sixth and seventh grade at WMS. I attended seventh grade at Meredith Middle School in Des Moines, IA. I was born in Des Moines and lived there until I graduated college.
I attended college at the University of Northern Iowa. I have a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics (k-8). You most likely will hear me celebrate some of their sports wins this year and maybe be disappointed in some of their loses(if it happens :)). Go Panthers!!! I moved to Omaha, Nebraska when I finished my undergrad degree. I taught third grade at Martin Luther King Elementary. While teaching there I received my Masters degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis on math and science.
Sixteen years ago I moved to Raleigh and now reside in Wake Forest. My little girl(she is at least still little to me), Caroline, is starting sixth grade here at Wakefield Middle School. We will see how she likes being in the same school as mom! She is very high energy and not shy like her Momma. I'm sure the students will get to meet her.
I love to read, watch sports, make art and garden. I enjoy making stain glass windows when I have the time. I also have started making candles. It relaxes me to make things with my hands. I also run to help relieve stress and stay healthy. My happy place is the beach with my girl!!!!
