I began my teaching career for MAPS in 1995.  That first year I taught elementary physical education and middle school health/PE.  From 1996 – 2005 I taught health and physical education at MMS.  In 2005 I moved to MHS as a teacher and class advisor for the class of 2010.  In the past I have coached MMS basketball and track and JV girls’ basketball and soccer.

My educational process includes a degree from Muskegon Community College followed with a Sports Medicine degree from CMU.   After nine years in that field I returned to school to get my teaching certificate from EMU and then a Master’s in Educational Leadership from GVSU.  My husband Sam and I have two sons, Mason and Caleb.  My hobbies include spending time with family, running, tennis, reading and any day at the beach is a great day!
