A LITTLE BACKGROUND...

I was born and raised near the little town of New Ross, Indiana, and am the oldest of 5 children. After graduating from Southmont High School in 1989, I attended Knox College in Galesburg, IL, earning a bachelor's degree in history in 1993.  In the two years following, I decided to pursue teaching certificates in both elementary and secondary education.  I have taught a wide variety of subjects and grade levels, from middle school and high school language arts and Spanish classes to kindergarten and preschool. The 2013-14 school year marks my first year in the Kimball School District and my 16th year teaching in an early childhood setting. I am excited for the opportunity to share my experience and continue my growth in this community!

MY FAMILY LIFE...

My husband, James, and I live with our four daughters, Sidney, Josie, Rylee, and Alli just outside of White Lake. We run a cow-calf operation and have lots of horses, too!  In addition to helping raise our daughters and helping James around the ranch, I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, running, and watching a variety of sports...my favorites being Indiana Hoosiers Basketball and Denver Broncos Football! :)
