I grew up in Valparaiso, IN and graduated from Purdue University in 1999.  I earned my Masters in Educational Leadership in 2003, right before my daughter, Hannah, was born.  I have worked in D300, teaching at Hampshire Elementary, since the beginning of my career in 2000.  I spent seven years teaching 1st grade, then four years teaching 3rd grade, and am now back in 1st! I enjoy working with children of all ages and am so proud to be teaching at Hampshire Elementary.
