I have a step-daughter named Lindsey and 11 year old twins named Aidan and Olivia. We have a cat named Gracie and a dog named Sadie. Everyone keeps Mr. Durst and I very busy!
I have been a teacher in the Richmond Community School District for 24 years. I have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade. I obtained my B.A. in Elementary Education with a minor in English/Speech from Madonna University. I earned my Master's Degree in Child Development with a ZA endorsement in Early Childhood from Michigan State University.
I absolutely love what I do and wouldn't do anything else. I love working with children and the challenges my profession provides. I look forward to each year, getting to know all my students, and seeing them grow and learn! I have an amazing job!
Other activities: I currently coach the Junior Varsity Volleyball team at the high school, I have worked in the after school reading program, and I am the facilitator for the Lee Lego Club . This will be the second year I will facilitate the Jr. Robotics Team (4th graders) and the FLL Robotics Teams (5-8 graders) held at Will L. Lee Elementary. I enjoy reading, running, and spending time with my family.
