I am excited about working at Clement Middle School. I began teaching at Clement in 2001. I taught 6th grade Language Arts and Social Studies for many years. I currently teach both 7^th and 8^th grade Social Studies. My teaching philosophy is to create a positive learning environment that can foster student academic growth in which they can be successful throughout the year. I strive to present the curriculum in a way that supports student learning and empowers their own academic achievement. I try to inspire students to be the best they can be today, tomorrow, and each day thereafter.

Go Vikings!!
