I am a 1976 graduate of Garden City High School. I attended Garden City Junior College and finished my college career at Fort Hays State University. I am currently licensed for Early Childhood Education, K-9 English Language Learners and English 6-9. I have 33 years in the classroom and continue to learn new things every day! 

I am currently involved with the re-design Gemini 1 project and loving every minute. I have many hours of professional development, including 30+ graduate hours. I am very involved and motivated to make changes for students so each can be successful in their future careers. I love hands on learning, and believe that students learn best by doing. I am constantly looking for and implementing different ways for students to learn in my classroom.
