I am very excited to be in my second year at Scottsbluff Public Schools. I am beginning my 26th year of teaching and look forward to continuing to teach English Learners at both Bluffs Middle School and Scottsbluff High School. 

I graduated from Chadron State College with my Bachelor of Science in Education. I received my English as a Second Language Endorsement from Wayne State College, and am currently working on my master's in Teaching English Learners from the American College of Education.

I grew up in Morrill, NE, but have lived in Wyoming, Nevada, and Colorado throughout my life. My husband and I have been married for 32 years. I have three adult sons and two grandsons (that were born only seven hours apart and are NOT twins), and recently a lovely new granddaughter. I enjoy spending time with my family, going on mini adventures with my husband, and golfing.
