I was born and raised in Iowa. I received my degree from Iowa State University in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. I have taught in Iowa, Nebraska and now in Kansas. I have taught for 30 years all in Special Education. I first taught at Wakarusa Elementary until it closed and then moved to Sunflower Elementary and have taught here ever since.
I have 2 sons. One is at K State University and one is in High School.
