I was born and raised in Bethalto and attended Bethalto schools through high school. My husband, Justin and I still live in Bethalto with our daughters, Alexis and Kayleigh. I graduated from SIU-Edwardsville with a Bachelor's Degree in Elelmentary Educaiton. I received a Master's Degree from McKendree University and hold certification for administration, as well. This is my 14th year teaching in the Bethalto School District. I taught Kindergarten for two years and this is my 12th year teaching 1st Grade. I LOVE teaching first graders and watching them grow and blossom into young readers and writers. I am always willing to talk to you about your child and his/her education.
