Welcome!  I've had the honor to teach at Franklin High School since 1996.  Prior to that, I taught at the Western Wayne Skill Center (1991-1996) and Highpoint Center in Ann Arbor (1990-1991).  I am currently the Co-Department Chair for the Resource Room program.  I will be teaching in the Resource room for student drop-in support as well as Direct Instruction- Study Skills.  In the past, I've co-taught in math, science, and ELA and have been the SSD coordinator for Collegeboard.   I have a bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan in the area of Special Education k-12, a minor in art education k-8 and a master's degree in the Art of Teaching.  I am the staff advisor for the Drawing Club which meets on Thursdays, in room 101 from 2:30-3:15. 

A little about me- My husband Dean and I have two children- Madeline, (and her husband Keon) and Clare who is a junior at Franklin.  My family enjoys exploring through hiking, swimming, and competitive go-karting, fishing and competitive go-karting.  I love digging in the dirt,  hanging out with our two Great Danes, fishing, drawing, and really anything that requires a creative process.  I am inspired by the process of learning and look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new students.
