I am so excited to be living in Colorado and teaching at D49.  I began my career in 2001 and I'm still excited when each new school year comes around and this year is sizing up to be an outstanding one.  

I graduated from Central Oklahoma University, of Edmond, Oklahoma, with a bachelor's in Elementary Education.  I have earned my endorsement  for Crosscultural Language and Academic Development  from UC Berkerly, California.  I yearn to learn new ideas about teaching our greatest national asset, our students.  

I taught in Oklahoma for 12 years, California for 7 and a short stop in Texas.  Relocating here was the best move we ever made.  My husband is from the Littleon area, while I'm a southern girl from Oklahoma.  My husband and I have two grown children, our son is in Mississippi and our daughter has just moved to Colorado. According to our kids, Mark and I have replaced them with two very lively Corgis. 

In my spare time I love to hand make quilts for family members and sew whatever tickles my fancy.  I like reading as many novels as possible during my vacation time and traveling.
