I have been teaching in the Milan Area School District since 1998.  I earned my bachelors degree from Albion College and my Masters Degree from Marygrove College.  I currently serve on the schools leadership team and serve as the Social Studies Department Co-Chair. My teaching duties include US History and AP US History.  I really try to bring energy and passion to US History and am lucky to work with some outstanding individuals who share my enthusiasm for the social sciences.

Personally I try to enjoy life, spending as much time as possible outdoors.  I've been very fortunate to have met some wonderful people in my life travels and am always contemplating what is over the next horizon.   Beyond that I enjoy collecting vintage toasters, writing poetry about George Washington, and bear hunting with only a rusty spoon.  I am also a black belt in water colors and ballet.
