Embedded Files
Born in Michigan, raised in Ohio, I'm a "Midwest Girl" who moved to California in the early 2000's. My career has been an interesting and quirky combination of many different fields, from education to corporate to non-profit, which has given me a pretty well-rounded perspective as a teacher. I've been a Litigation Administrator, a Director of Communications, a writing tutor, have written and directed dramas, done nearly everything in theater from acting to costumes to props to stage managing, and I love just about anything creative: gardening, music, sewing, painting, singing, etc.
In Ohio, I was part of the wonderful English Department at Whitmer High School, where I had the privilege of teaching all levels of English (9-12), as well as Drama I and II, and Humanities. I was also part of the Humanities 2000 program with the University of Toledo, which developed curriculum and pioneered dual-credit courses for local high schools, so that high school students could receive both high school and University of Toledo credit for a course offered at our high school (back when that wasn't a regular thing!).

Now in California, I'm very excited to be part of the amazing English team at Clovis North High School for the past several years, and proud to be a Bronco!

My husband Mark and I just celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary this past August (woo hoo! - the very early days are pictured above), and we have two wonderful children who are in their 20's.
Our Furbabies
Our Furbabies
For 11 years we had our "furbaby" Pepper, our black labradoodle, who kept us laughing all the time and was the best cure for a tough day.
Sadly, we lost Pepper three years ago, but this past summer we added a new friend to the family: a chocolate double-doodle named Mr. Bennett!
