Teacher Email Phone: 414-963-3951 Welcome.
I started teaching in 1996 and have been at Richards since 2008, where I started off in thrid grade. I am now currently teaching second grade. I strive not only to better my students academically in reading, writing, and math, but to focus on the whole child. Developing social skills, problem solving, and a comfortableness in speaking in front of an audience are also goals I work towards with my students. Building community and a feeling of trust and safety in my classroom are top priorities each year.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in 1995 and have previously taught thrid and fourth grade in Cudahy and West Bend school districts respectively. During the early 2000s, I taught with a team of teachers at an alternative high school for C.E.S.A. #1 in Menomonee Falls. After my son was born, I was fortunate enough to be a stay at home dad for my son and daughter for four years before returning to teaching.
I have been actively involved with the Richards Running Club each Spring since I began teaching at Richards in 2008. It has been a fun and rewarding experience each year watching the fourth and fifth graders fall in love with the sport of running.
