I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana in 1993. I got my masters degree in education in 1999 from Indiana Wesleyan University. I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade at Helfrich Park STEM Academy for 17 years. While there, I was the technology coordinator and I managed the television studio and morning announcement show on the in house television system. I taught reading, English, mathematics, social studies, science, and health in all three grade levels. In the summer of 2010, I worked for the IDOE to help implement the Indiana Science Initiative. I led several workshops around the state helping teachers integrate notebooking and hands on science kits in their classrooms. For the 2010-2011 school year and my 18th year in the EVSC I taught fourth grade science at Fairlawn Elementary School. I love technology and am currently an eLearning coach at Helfrich Park STEM Academy. I am helping the staff implement technology and use the Netbooks in their daily instruction.
