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 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 certificate 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. My latest title given to me by my elder daughter is that of "Grandma" to two beautiful grandchildren, and I am enjoying watching my younger daughter blossom out in the working world after her recent college graduation.

 

This is my fifteenth year working as a teacher here at LVS.  I enjoy seeing the growth and changes that happen throughout the year with the students and families with whom I work. Welcome to our LVS family!
