Hello!  I am very happy to be a teacher at Pee Wee Patch and am anticipating a wonderful year with your children!  I have been teaching preschool for over nine years and LOVE teaching this age group!  I strongly feel that if children are given a loving environment with many opportunities for exploration and learning, children will blossom and grow.  I  have completed my Child Development Associate credential.  I am also a certified phlebotomist/medical laboratory technician and completed an externship at Royal Oak William Beaumont Hospital.  Prior to teaching, I was a secretary for the Lake Orion School District and for many years was a secretary to a senior partner of a law firm.  I have three children, Brandon, Aaron and Arielle.  In my spare time I really enjoy reading and taking frequent trips to Lexington, MI with my husband, Keven.  I also love taking walks with my Beagle, Maggie. Raising my children has been the greatest joy and working with children has become my life-long love.
