I grew up in Salina, Kansas. I'm the middle child in a close family of five children. I love to swim, cook, read, decorate my home, and spend time with my family. My husband's name is Doug and he is the Director of Professional Relations for Blue Cross and Blue Shield. My beautiful daughter, Lindsey is a senior at Washburn University. My talented son, Taylor, is a freshman at Kansas University this year. We enjoy attending KU sporting events, traveling, gardening, and spending time with our family and friends.

Teaching is my passion! I love sharing my love of learning with children. I believe that enthusiasm and excitement for learning is contagious! My goal is to help your child reach his or her full potential and to be a life long learner.I will strive to challenge your child every day.
