This year I will be beginning my eighteenth year of teaching. Seventeen of those years have been at Kingston Elementary. Before teaching kindergarten I taught first grade and preschool.

I graduated from Caro High School and continued my education at Western Michigan University. GO BRONCOS! After teaching for a few years I went to graduate school and received a Master's degree in Reading and Literacy.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Dave, for sixteen years. He is a Kingston Cardinal through and through. He is proud to coach the Varsity Boys Basketball team. We have four children. Bailey, is working as a CNA. He enjoys sports and hunting just like his dad. He just welcomed his son, Bryson to the world this August! I'm a GLAMMA! Jack, is tweleve years old! He loves basketball, cross country, and video games. Brooks, is two and his a boisterous, energetic toddler. Griffin is the baby of the family. He's the happiest baby in the world.

Our family loves to be outdoors camping, or in the woods. We also spend quite a bit of time in the gymnasium watching basketball during the Kingston Cardinal's season.

When I am not spending time with my family, which is rare , I enjoy reading, shopping, and coloring. It is my honor and privilege to be able to teach the students at KES. I look forward to another AWESOME year!
