Hi!  I am one of the team of 6th grade teachers here at Community Elementary.  This is my 11th year teaching here, and I am excited about the new year.

My family and I moved here from Colorado in 2007, and I began teaching at Community Elementary at that time.  I am married with 3 children and 8 grandchildren.

I have so many hobbies that it is hard to keep up with them all.  I love to travel, sew, and kayak to list a few.

    It seems like I have been in education all of my life.  I homeschooled my 3 children from kindergarten through 12th grade.  When finished with my own children, I taught at a private school in Basalt, Colorado for four years.  During that time, I also served as the Dean of Elementary Education.  At that time, I made the decision to return to school before coming here to Kansas to teach here at Community Elementary.
