This is my 22nd with the Brandon School District. I have a Bachelor's Art Degree in Elementary Education with a focus in Language Arts and Social Studies. I earned my Master's of Science degree in Integration of Technolgy in the Classroom. Throughout these years, I have had the privledge of working with many different levels: Kindergarten, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. 

Outside of school, I spend time reading, playing volleyball and kayaking. My husband and I also enjoy traveling and wathcing football. Together we have 6 children, 2 grand children, and a dog. It is always a grand adventure when the family gets together.

I truly believe in the power of YET. I encourage all students to take chances, make mistakes, show GRIT, and become independent thinkers. They will be pushed to keep trying, keep struggling, keep thinking until they finally have that "lightbulb" moment. I look forward to this school year and watching all my students GROW.
