Welcome! I'm thrilled to be heading into my 12th year as a Woodlawn Riverhawk!  It is truly an honor and privilege to be part of this community. I have over 30 years of experience working with children and families; the last 19 being for Lawrence Public Schools. Relationships are of critical importance to me, and I hope that, together, we can become partners in helping our children thrive. 

I have a daughter, Carly, who teaches English in Olathe, and a son, Evan, who is a data engineer in Santa Barbara, California. This summer I was blessed to welcome my first grandchild, Emery Grace. I love listening to lots of good music, taking long walks with my dog Truman, being outside as much as possible, paddleboarding, and watching KU Basketball!

I'm looking forward to a wonderful year!
