Work Experience:
My first teaching job was 1st and 2nd grade English as a Second Language in the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools for 6 years. Then I taught 5th and 6th grade at Trailwood Elementary in the Shawnee Mission Public Schools for 7 years. I then stayed home when our son was born for 8 years.

Teaching Philosophy:
Every child has lots to learn, big and small, but every child also has lots to teach us, big and small. This is what makes teaching so much fun. Learning something new daily for everyone, big and small.

Passions and Interests:
My husband, Jon (24 years of marriage); my children, Gretchen (20 years old) and Owen (17 years old) and our basset hound dogs (Stella and Stanley). If I am not walking our dogs or at one of our kid's activities then I am reading or playing tennis.

Favorite Scripture:
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace onto which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.
