I have been teaching at West Valley Elementary school since 2017. Throughout my teaching career, including prior to joining West Valley, I have taught second grade, third grade, and fifth grade. There is something special about each age and grade and I have loved every grade I have taught. I am currently loving 5th grade and I enjoy seeing students develop the perseverance, independence, organization, and responsibility they need to succeed in middle school, high school, and beyond. For the past two years, I have also served as the 5th grade representative on the school’s leadership team. I hope to help make your child’s last year in elementary school an educational, fun, and memorable experience!
