Hi Everyone, I live in Rock Rapids with my 2 adopted daughters Amira and Shaquita and our dogs Ace and Raya. I enjoy camping, reading, and spending time with my family. This will be my 15th year teaching but my 4th year at West Lyon. I am excited to get to know your child and help them develop through hands on activities and social learning.
