Hello! I am a fourth grade teacher here at Riverside.  I grew up in Cleveland and have been teaching in the district for over twenty years.  Teaching is not my only pleasure or passion.  I love coaching girls' volleyball in the Fall.  I also enjoy biking, traveling and spending summers on Kelleys Island.  I have three beautiful children and come from a very large family.My philosophy for teaching includes instilling responsibillity, accountability and respect in everything my students do.  I want my students to have huge success and enjoy learning every single day.
