I grew up in Crystal, MN.  I am a middle child with one older sibling and one younger.  As soon as I graduated from college, I moved to a much warmer climate.  I have decided I like the beach much more than the snow. I have taught all levels of elementary school for the last 30 years.  I have been at Swansboro Elementary for the last 14 years.   I have two sons.  One is married and living in Wilmington and one is an 12th grade student in Carteret County.  I enjoy my two cats and tolerate my large dog.
