About Me
I am very fortunate to have a profession that I love. I have been in public education for over thirty years. I have taught all grades 1-8. This helps me understand where kids have been and where they are going!
I am sixth of seven children, raised and educated in southern Indiana. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and Reading (1982) from Indiana University. My MS degree was earned in School Administration (1990) from the University Dayton in Ohio. My husband and I have lived and worked in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, and Georgia as well as the countries of Germany and Australia.
Coming to school each day offers new opportunities for me to learn and grow with my students. My goal is to help young people develop skills and interests to become life-long learners. Hopefully at the end of the day, we are all better for our time spent together and more enthusiastic about the process of learning!
My husband, two grown children, and grandchildren keep me busy when I'm not at school. Other hobbies include boating, cycling, traveling, reading, and walking with the girls: Molly, our Boykin Spaniel and Hattie our English Springer Spaniel.
