I was born and raised in Indiana and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education  from the University of Iowa.  Go Hawkeyes!  I also received a Master's of Science degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University.  I began working for Noblesville Schools in 2001 and taught in Bloomington, Indiana as well.    I believe that each child is a unique individual who has the right to learn and thrive in a safe environment. It is my goal to challenge my students to reach their fullest potential socially, emotionally and academically.   My two sons attended North Elementary and I am proud of the academic and life lessons they learned here.
