I'm excited to be starting my nineteenth year of teaching special education and my twelfth year at Mintonye! Every year has included co-teaching in a regular classroom. This year is no exception. I am passionate about meeting the needs of our students in their classroom with their classmates.

Prior to teaching, I was a family counselor working in a runaway shelter. I also subbed for teachers from kindergarten to high school for ten years. I just have to say, I love working with kids!

     Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband and I have four children, ages 22 to 36, and three grandsons (1 1/2, 1 1/2, and 5 years old). We have fun camping, watching movies, and just laughing while spending time together. Our dogs are another important part of our lives. We take them everywhere we can!

Your child will also be an important part of my day. Please feel free to get a hold of me with any suggestions, questions, or concerns.

                    Here's to a fantastic year!
