I started teaching at Lincoln School in 1987, teaching 3^rd grade. In 2002, I moved to Augusta Middle School and taught 6^th grade math. In 2008, I took a break from teaching (I subbed in the district for 10 years). I came back to Lincoln, teaching 5^th grade in 2019.

I married my husband Shawn in 2012. We have 4 children and 9 grandchildren. The 3 oldest children all graduated from Augusta after attending from kindergarten all the way through their senior year. My youngest son attended Bishop Carroll High School in Wichita. 

We currently have 2 spoiled dogs. Dakota is a black lab and is a fabulous duck hunter. Murphy is a morkie and loves to snuggle on your lap. Our dogs go everywhere with us and are a huge part of our famiy.

We spend most of our free time at Wilson Lake. I am an avid reader and belong to a book club where we try to read books by local authors. My husband and I enjoy hunting together and I have been blessed hunting in some pretty incredible places.
