This is my fifth year at Prairie Park as a first-grade teacher. Before coming to Lawrence, I taught Kindergarten through third grades for five years at a private school in Olathe. 

I live in Olathe with my husband and son Curtis. I also have two grown children and this year became a Grandparent.  In my spare time I enjoy hanging with family and friends, reading, traveling and making jewelry.

I love working with first graders because they are enthusiastic, inquisitive and sincere.
