Originally hailing from Manistee, I graduated from Manistee High School in 1999.  I've been teaching English and Spanish at Lake City since 2005.  Prior to coming here, I taught in Ludington and White Pigeon.  I have my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education from Central Michigan University where I double majored in English and Spanish.  In 2008 I completed my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Grand Valley State University.
