Fourth Grade

Welcome to fourth grade at Eberwhite Elementary! I am looking forward to an exciting school year with you and your child.

Although this is my eighth year at Eberwhite I’m not new to Ann Arbor Public Schools. I previously taught at Pattengill Elementary for fifteen years and before that I taught in Chicago Public Schools for 2 years. My husband Eugene and I have two wonderful daughters Nia and Imani. Nia is a graduate of Tennessee State University and she works with MLC in Nashville, TN.  Imani is a Senior at Tennessee State University and she is a Tiger Belle (collegiate track runner). Yes, we are empty nesters!  It’s such an exciting time for my family! 

Fourth grade is a time of new beginnings, making friends, and learning lots of new things each and everyday. Our days will be filled with many wonderful experiences and opportunities for learning and growing.

My goal is to create a caring and stimulating learning environment that encourages all children to learn. I have high expectations for my students and believe that every child can learn and succeed. 

Thank you for entrusting your child to me. I promise to do my best everyday to be your child’s companion in learning.

This will be an exciting year!

Hello 4th Grade Families! I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year!

I moved to Ann Arbor from Colorado in 2021 and am so thankful that I found my way to Eberwhite. I love exploring Michigan with my partner Aaron and our dogs Zooey and Obi. When I am not in the classroom, I love practicing and performing on aerial sling, playing board games, and going to my favorite coffee shops and restaurants around town.

I have been an educator for 12 years and a classroom teacher for nine. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Northern Colorado. I am currently working towards a Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages through WMU.

I enjoy building learning communities that value curiosity and collaboration while emphasizing social emotional learning and meaningful technology integration.
