Teaching is my second career. It brings me the most joy. Helping children gain confidence in themselves and learn all they can about Jesus, and learning things from the children daily are what I cherish the most. I have been married since 1991; we have no children, but 5 cats (who are just like our children!), lots of Nieces and Nephews, as well as several God-children. We enjoy sporting events (Hockey), movies, and camping. I also like to read and do crafts.

I am a happily married mother of two grown daughters, one lovely granddaughter, and a true dog lover. I love to travel with my family. Sharing these experiences with children has made our adventures even more exciting!
I am a devoted teacher who has been learning best teaching practices for many years. I am passionate about helping young children grow into confident people. I believe in teaching children to look for solutions, and to remember that they are not alone. I am truly blessed to love my work. I firmly believe God has a plan for each of us, and together we can achieve anything.
