Welcome to Kindergarten at the Islamic School of Louisville! This will begin my 17th year of teaching in Early Childhood Education. I have my A.S. in Early Childhood Education, B.A. in Early Elementary Education, an M.A. in Community Change and Leadership. This year I will complete an additional program for Reading Specialist in Elementary Education.  I love learning as much as teaching! I enjoy teaching children academics by using a combination of traditional, thematic, music and play based approaches. I’m excited to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher and to be a part of the Islamic School of Louisville’s teaching family.

In my free time I enjoy camping, gardening, kayaking, and working in my clay studio. My husband and I have five adult children, three grandchildren and two labradoodles that keep us active. ​

Asalamu Alaykom,
 
My experience of ten years in Islamic schools varies from volunteering, tutoring and subbing, to teaching 1st grade, 3rd grade and 5th grade to working in the administration. 
This year, back to be with students once more, I am so blessed to be part of Islamic School of Louisville Teaching Family as your Kindergarten Assistant.
I live on the other side of the river with my husband and four children.  Two of them are currently attending Islamic School of Louisville.
 I love to crochet and knit in my free time. I was an avid reader but I stopped after having children.  I cannot wait to get back to reading books that do not have Dr. Seuss, Pete the Cat or Disney on their covers.
