I began teaching 5^th grade at Laurin in 2003 after doing my student teaching here the prior year.  I really enjoy working with middle-school students because of their sense of humor and desire to learn.  I think the students at Laurin are awesome because of their great attitude towards school and the support they receive from home.  In my free time I enjoy riding my Sea-Doo and going camping in the summer, and reading, hiking, and lifting weights throughout the rest of the year.
