Welcome to 3rd Grade!  I began teaching 2nd Grade at OACS when my 2 daughters were students here in 2005 (a long time ago!). This will be my fifth year as a 3rd Grade teacher and while I used to say 2nd Graders were the best, I now believe that 3rd Graders are the greatest!  I am a resident of Oakland where I live with my husband and dog and am a 3rd year empty-nester as both our girls are in college now. I am a graduate of Mercer University with an Early Childhood Education degree.

I believe that school success is achievable via parent-teacher partnerships and can't wait to get to know your child this year!
