I'm a native of Columbus, IN, with a background in teaching English as a New Language and first grade. I graduated from IUPUC in 2014, with a bachelor's of science in Elementary Education and a dual license in English as a New Language. This will be my eighth year of teaching, and I’m passionate about literacy and helping students learn a new language. I’m happily married with two wonderful children, Lincoln (6) and Mollie (3). When I'm not working, I love diving into novels, digging in my garden, and taking my dogs for walks!
