I’ve been a Dearborn kid my whole life. (Some might say I’m still a kid.) I went to Divine Child High School so I’m not sure how I ended up here in enemy territory at DHS but I’m having a fabulous time and I’m very proud to be a Pioneer now!
My children have attended Lindbergh Elementary School, Bryant Middle School, and Dearborn High School. (Can you imagine your mom teaching in your school? They handle it pretty well.) My daughter graduated in 2016 and currently attends Michigan Technological University in Houghton. I have a son in the Class of 2019 and another daughter in the Class of 2021.
My family would probably tell you that teaching is my only hobby as well but I do have a few others…maybe one or two. I love to read and also swim in our pool in the summer. Well, it’s more like floating really.

One of the first assignments we complete in our class is this set of 20 questions. I like what I learn about my students from their answers.
