I am passionate about math, plants and tennis. I played college tennis for the Grizzlies at the University of Montana. I graduated from Idaho State University with a major in mathematics and business. I have taught may for over 20 years and have coached tennis for as many years.

I have been married to a wonderful man and have two children, a boy and a girl. My son works for UPS and my daughter is attending grad school for Speech Pathology. I have one grandson who is a constant joy in my life, He is wonderfully creative and we love building with Legos.

I also love plants, especially flowers. I enjoy the entire process from germination to watching them bloom all summer. I have many pots all around the outside of my house in the summer.

Summer is my favorite time of the year! I hate winter especially North Dakota winters that seem to go on forever. I love hot weather and sunshine, no matter how hot it is!
