This is my daughter Alexis. She is going to be a 7th grader. Although she is “Tiny” she makes up with it in her academics, atheltics, musical abilities and as you can see, her personality.

This is Easton, my not-so-baby baby. He turns 8 in August.
He keeps me on my toes and ever learning. He has been diagnosed with sensory processing issues which has been fun to learn about and ever so helpful in my classroom as well.
He recently joined the swim team which means most of my homework will be done at his practices!

A year ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I don’t let this chronic disease define me but unfortunately you have to understand it to best understand me.
Because of this disease my professional goal is to one day be able to teach online college/university classes so my students don’t have to see my day to day struggles, or so I don’t have to but so much energy into hiding them.

I just completed my 5th year as a FACS teacher with the Aberdeen School district. I am currently lucky enough to teach at our ATEC Academy, the tech school located directly behind our high school. Our tech director is very supporting of all my crazy ideas. I love working with all the tech teachers and collaborating on ideas to keep my classes real life and hands on.
