I see the opportunity to educate children at home as a wonderful experience and a blessing to families.  I bring to Lawrence Virtual School eight years of classroom experience, as well as ten years of home educating my own children.   I have taught my own children using the first through eighth grade LVS curriculum.

 

I hold a Bachelor’s of Education degree from Augustana College and a master’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado. I recently completed a certification as a reading specialist from Fort Hays State University.  When not working with our Lawrence Virtual School families, I enjoy spending time with my family’s activities and playing my trumpet in several local bands.  I live in Eudora, KS, with my husband and college daughter. My latest title from my elder daughter is that of "Grandma" to two beautiful grandchildren.

 

This is my fourteenth year working as a teacher here at LVS; I also manage schoolwide communications and help with parent-led enrichment and field trips.  I enjoy seeing the growth and changes that happen through the year with the students and families with whom I work. Welcome to our LVS family!
