I am excited to be working with you and your child(ren). This is my 30th year teaching and I have worked at all levels of education from prekindergarten through adult and secondary education. My goal is for your child to enjoy learning and learn in a manner that they can apply what they learn in life and the real world. I love working with students to realize their goals and help them to achieve their potential.

In my spare time, I love to kayak, garden, read, write, crochet, color, cook, and wildcraft. At home, I have two cats (one of my own and a grandcat), my puppy, & 9 chickens. :) My hugest joys in life are my three sons (ages 35, 27, and forever 21) and my two grandchildren. 

I am looking forward to a great year!!
