My teaching career began 20 years ago, but I've worked in the education field for more than 30 years! I've had the pleasure of teaching grades 2, 3, 4, 5, & 7 over the years. Queens Creek Elementary was my home for seven years, where I taught 4th grade and 2nd grade. I loved being a GATOR, but I am super excited about beginning my third year at SBMS as a PIRATE! I absolutely LOVE teaching! I'm especially passionate about history and environmental education.
Originally, I'm from Kentucky, the Bluegrass State, and I've lived in eight different states altogether! I've been blessed with two fabulous daughters, four precious grandchildren, one hilarious Golden Retriever, and several cats. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my family, rescuing critters, traveling, reading, going to the beach, and enjoying nature.
