Mrs. Nivert began teaching in 1998. She graduated from Kent State University with a degree in Elementary Education. She worked at McDowell in Hudson, Ohio teaching third grade for fifteen years! She is excited about her 7th year at fifth grade at East Woods co-teaching all subjects with Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Gladstone, although to start this year her focus will be reading and writing. She has had many experiences and has worked with a variety of students. She likes to challenge students to do their best and feels that building relationships with her students and families is the foundational building blocks for success.

Mrs. Nivert enjoys reading, jogging, yoga, shopping, and the beach. She and Mr. Nivert have a sixth grade son named William and a fourth grade daughter named Madeline. She is also a mom to their dog Charlie.
