I am a first grade teacher at Mintonye Elementary. I graduated from Indiana University with a BA in Elementary Education. I have been married for 29 years to my husband, Bill, who is a Field Service Manager for TDS. We have three children, Kaitlyn (who graduated from Butler University and now works at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis as an RN on a pediatric hematology/oncology unit), Ben (who graduated from Purdue University majoring in Law and Society and now works for Lafayette Fire Department), and Ashley (who is a graduate from Purdue majoring in Early Childhood Education & Exceptional Needs and is a 2nd grade teacher at Battleground Elementary). We also have a lovable Shih Tzu. My hobbies include spending time with family and friends, decorating my home, and boating.
