About Me


  • I've been teaching at Fennville Middle School for 25 years, mostly seventh grade.  This year we have a double period of Language Arts, so we can team teach reading and writing.
  • Some of our projects this year are Fennville Sense of Place Project, Middle Ages Project, The Revealers, and World War II Project.
  • My family owns a winery in Fennville called Fenn Valley Vineyards.  I live in a beautiful setting, right in the middle of the vineyards.
  • Our family enjoys scuba diving.  Our favorite place to go is a little island iin the Turks and Caicos Islands called Grand Turk.
  • I am a Teacher Consultant with the Third Coast Writing Project at Western Michigan University. 
  • I've been a part of the National Writing Project's Rural Voices, Country Schools initiative.  You can hear the Rural Voices CD's we have produced here.
  • I've also done a Teacher Exchange through the National Writing Project, spending two weeks in St. Louis at the Gateway Writing Project's Summer Institute. 
  • I'm a mystery buff.  When I have some leisure time, those are the books I turn to.
