I have been an elementary teacher for over 20 years. Prior to that I graduated from Western Illinois University with my bachelor's degree. I also completed my master's degree in education at Olivet Nazarene University. I am married and have three children. My husband, Jim, is the principal at our middle school, SIMS. Teaching your child is something I take pride in. I'll make a commitment to his/her education. My goal, mission, as a teacher is to work with each child to create a safe, nurturing environment that will provide them with the skills, abilities, and knowledge to become a life-long learner and a productive member of society.
