I have taught 2nd grade for 6 years at VGPA and have switched to PE for the upcoming year! I’m super excited to teach the kids how great it feels to be healthy and in shape.  I love playing Pickleball and shopping for fun shoes to workout in! I can’t wait to be with you all and the students once again.

Hello everyone, This is my second year teaching at Vista Grove (Leona Group) and my 5th year teaching. I will be teaching 7th grade this coming school year  for the first time and I am so excited.
I am married with 3 wonderful children ages 7-13. This summer has definitely been a challenge trying to keep my children busy/occupied at home because of COVID-19 so we have been playing LOTS of board games.

I just moved here from North Carolina and am super excited to be a part of the Vista Grove team! This is my 3rd year teaching and I have always had a passion for working with students and making a positive influence.
