* In 2006, I graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and was able to spend five months traveling/teaching 5th grade students in Germany. * I love to read (esp. non-fiction), blog, travel, practice hot yoga, and have finished two half marathons. * This is my 9th year teaching at Crestdale Middle :) * I absolutely love music! My favorite types are: country, folk, and acoustic. * Favorite places to travel: Charleston, SC, Chicago, IL, New Orleans, LA, and San Francisco, CA * Fall and college football are two of my very favorite things: Go Buckeyes! * I LOVE to teach ~ each day brings new adventures, laughter, and reflection.
