Hello Centennial Families!

This is my 11th year at Centennial and my 8th year teaching third grade. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Master of Arts in Elementary Education. My core beliefs in education are providing the fundamentals in a safe, inspiring, and positive environment. I believe all children need consistency, order, and boundaries to reach their full potential. Children excel when they feel confident. I think that children feel confident when the focus is on what they have done “right”. My favorite part of teaching is building relationships with families and showing kids I see their greatness! I have been married to my sweetheart for 20 years. We have 3 teenagers that keep us on our toes. I love camping, crafting, and reading a great book. Thanks for taking the time to read my bio, I look forward to a great year.
