2020-2021

This is my 16th year of teaching and 15 of these years have been at Hartman as an early childhood teacher! I have my undergraduate and graduate degree in Early Childhood. My husband and I celebrated our 15th anniversary this summer and we have a ten year old daughter name Maddie. I love to spend time with my family, read, travel, and hang out with our three cats! I absolutely love being a Hartman Hawk! It is so rewarding to see the growth of my students throughout the year, as well as throughout their time at Hartman! We truly are a family at Hartman!

Hi! I have been at Hartman for almost 3 years and in the Early Childhood field for 20 years. I am starting a new role as Early Childhood Resource teacher this year and am excited to still see my young kiddos at Hartman! In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outside, seeing my friends and family, and traveling. I love being a Hartman Hawk because we support one another, focus on being kind and moving forward from our mistakes and I have fun every day at school!
