I earned my BS in Elementary Education from the University of Kansas in 1993 and my MA in Curriculum and Instruction in 1997 from KU.  I joined USD 497 in 1994. I have 28 years of classroom experience, and this is my third year working as an interventionist. I am married and we have two grown children. We also have two dogs; a Golden Retriever, Jack, and a Beagle named Lucy.  We enjoy being together and spend a lot of time at sporting events all year long.
