Experience:
I worked at the Algonquin Pool for 11 summers, from 2004-2014. I taught swim lessons to 3, 4, and 5 year olds for most of those summers, until I took over as swim lesson coordinator. It was at the pool that I first got the idea that I wanted to teach young children.
I went to Hope College in Holland, Michigan. There, I completed many field placements in primary classrooms as well as student teaching in kindergarten. I graduated in 2011 and spent the next 2 years substitute teaching and covering maternity leave positions in elementary classrooms.
My first year teaching at HBT, I taught 3rd grade. I had the opportunity to switch to kindergarten in my second year and couldn't be happier! Kindergarten is the place I feel I was meant to teach.
I am currently in the Master of Education in Literacy program at Judson University. I am so excited to continue my education and to bring new teaching strategies back to the classroom every week.

Favorite Pastimes:
Most people know me as a runner. I ran cross country and track all through high school and college. My favorite race is the Rock N' Roll half-marathon in Chicago. I also have run 4 marathons: Chicago (2011), Boston (2013), New York (2014), and Chicago again (2015).
Besides running, I do love to be outdoors -- kayaking, hiking, or gardening. Reading on a rainy day, or looking up yummy recipes also keeps me entertained.
