MEET YOUR COACH:

I am a graduate of Butler University, where I majored in Elementary Education. After teaching for two years in Lebanon, IN I moved to California where I lived for nearly 30 years. My experience there includes grades 3-8 in various schools and districts. After 6 years of teaching at WWES, I am excited to begin my first year as an instructional coach there for the 22-23 school year.

WHY I LOVE COACHING:

I believe my experience across many grades and schools has prepared me to work together with teachers to reach the needs of our students. As a Leader in Me School, we believe there is a leader in all of us. Coaching is all about using our gifts to synergize with one another to serve our students. I can’t wait to get started!
