I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1984 and UW-Superior in 2005. I have Bachelor of Science degrees in Elementary, Special and Early Childhood Education. I'm currently working towards a Master's of Education in Organizational Leadership. I've taught in both public and private schools. I was the co-owner of "Ready, Set, Grow Early Learning Centers" in New Hampshire. I have also worked as an educational consultant and a college recruiter.

I am the 4K teacher and the Education Coordinator for NDCC. My areas of educational interest include curriculum development, children's literature, and parent education.

I have been employed at Northern Door Children's Center since March, 2003.

I have lived in California, Hawaii, Texas, Kansas and New Hampshire. My partner and I moved to Egg Harbor in 2002. We share a little house in the big woods with our awesome dogs and rabbits. I love to read, I'm a published writer, and I enjoy cooking when time allows it.
