I have been the librarian at Lincoln Elementary since 2014 after having taught in the classroom for 20 years at a variety of grade levels.

I began my teaching career 1994 in Emporia, Kansas. I taught 4^th grade and 7^th grade math and science for 3 years in Emporia before moving to Mulvane, Kansas where I taught 3^rd grade for 3 years.  I also taught 2^nd grade for 8 years and 5^th grade for 6 years here at Lincoln before moving into the librarian position in 2014. 

My husband Jason and I have been married since 1993.  As recent empty nesters we enjoy camping and traveling whenever we have the chance. We have 2 grown boys who both went through the Augusta school system.  Jacob, my oldest, graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in civil engineering, and he then graduated from University of Texas in Austin with his structural engineering master’s degree.  He then joined the Navy and has become a comissioned officer. He is attending flight school in Pensacola, Florida to become a Navy pilot. Joseph, my youngest is a journeyman electrician in Austin, Texas. We spend a lot of time on the road visiting our kids (and granddaughter!)

As a librarian it’s no surprise I LOVE to read! I’m always reading or looking for my next great read.
