Grand Blanc, Michigan has been my home for my entire life, so it is the ultimate privilege for me to begin my fifth year of teaching science here at West Middle School.   I attended neighboring Reid Elementary and graduated from Grand Blanc High School in 2010. I then followed my dream of playing Division I basketball at Central Michigan University while earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education in 2015; majoring in mathematics, with a minor in integrated sciences. This year I will also be coaching 8th grade girls basketball.  My interests include spending time with family and friends, being outside, listening to music, and watching the Detroit Pistons.  I am so proud to have the opportunity to work with your child in a place I call home. One of my major goals is to make your child’s transition to the middle school a pleasant one, while also getting him/her excited about science.
