I am excited to begin my 26th year of teaching at Lake Murray Elementary School. During my years at LMES, I have taught students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. I am a passionate educator who believes that students can achieve great things when we give them adequate time, space, and engagement. I am committed to excellence in all that I do, and I hold myself and my students to high expectations. Building relationships with my students, cultivating life skills like organization and time management and fostering a growth mindset for learning in my classroom are my priorities each year. I am excited to get started with my new groups of students this year!
