Bio

  • I am a member of the Cedar Grove Church of Christ.
  • I graduated at Pleasant Home in 1982.  While in high school, I was on the cheerleading squad, math team, English team, and yearbook staff. 
  • During my years of teaching, I have come to realize that kids are our greatest treasure.  With the tools and guidance we give them, they can succeed and accomplish many amazing things. 
  • In addition to my school children, I have three beautiful, grown daughters (Crissy, Courtney, and Cari), three terrific sons-in-law (Chris, Aaron, and Michael), five wonderful grandsons (Tyler, Jackson, Carter, Ian, and Hank), and one granddaughter (Bella).
  • When not teaching, I enjoy the beach (especially in winter), the mountains, outdoor activities like camping and whitewater rafting, writing, reading, crocheting, sewing, painting, and scrapbooking. I travel as much as possible, and as of this moment have visited 48 states, DC, Mexico, Canada, and the Bahamas. I've seen the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi River, the Rio Grand, the Colorado, all 5 Great Lakes,  and many more.
