Welcome to West Middle School! I teach sixth grade English Language Arts (ELA) on Team Thunder.

I have been working for Lawrence Public Schools since 1994: 1 year as a substitute teacher, 3 years as a para-educator, 1 year as a second-grade teacher, and ALL the rest teaching sixth grade at Schwegler, Centennial, Langston Hughes, and finally, here at West. 

I am Mom to two children, Mimi to two grandchildren, and teacher to more students than I can count! In my free time I love to read and can't wait to share that love with my new students every year.

West is Best!
