Hello!  I am very excited to be working at Bell Fork Elementary where students, staff and parents are all a family.  I've been working in education for 24 years in many roles.  I started as a volunteer, then a teacher assistant, prinipal's secretary and finally receiving a degree in teaching became a lifetime dream of being a teacher in 2006.  I've worked in 2nd, 3rd and Exceptional's Children's classrooms over the past 12 years.  I have two grown children (Caryn and Matthew) and am married to my best friend (Jack) for 32 years.  I have two pets, Cooper and JoJo.
