Hello and welcome to first grade at Goshen Elementary! I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself.

First and foremost, I am passionate about education and teaching children with the goal of helping them reach their full potential in order to have immense opportunities and avenues open to them throughout their lives. I know we must work together as a team to accomplish this, so please never hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 

    I currently live in Troy, Illinois with my family. I was a military spouse for almost twenty years, which provided me with the opportunity to live all around the world to include Japan and the Azores. My husband and I have three wonderful children. Brittany is starting her 5th year teaching 1st grade grade near Nashville, TN. Nicholas just graduated from SIUE with a degree in Anthropology, and Colin is a senior at SIUE studying computer science. When I have free time, I love to spend it reading, painting, boating, and soaking up time with my family.
