Mrs. Herschell

This is my 15th year teaching and my 7th year at Pickford.  I have held the positions of ECSE (Early Childhood Special Education), Kindergarten, and 1st grade.

I am from Sault Ste. Marie, MI and graduated from Sault High in 2007. I received my Bachelor of Elementary and Special Education degree from Southern Utah University in 2010.  I did my student teaching in Las Vegas, NV in the Fall of 2010 before moving back to Michigan and starting my first teaching position. I received my Master of Education degree in Integrated Curriculum from the American College of Education in 2024.
