Subject Area(s): English 9 and Yearbook Home Town: I grew up in Hebron, Nebraska as the youngest of a large family (16 to be exact). I then lived in Lincoln for ten years before moving to Tecumseh for 8 years. However, my family moved to the Roca/Hickman area in 2007. Degrees Held & Institution Received From: Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in Broadcasting; Bachelor of Science in English/Language Arts from Peru State College. Favorite thing about teaching: Working with youth and helping them discover their gifts, interacting with other educators to meet the needs of all students, facing the challenge of working in a complex career, and being a role model of a lifelong learner.
Why I like teaching freshmen: Starting high school is often an exciting, yet tumultuous, time for students. I try to maintain their enthusiasm while helping ease the frustrations of entering a new phase of education. I not only want students to learn the content but also how they learn best and to use the tools available to become a lifelong learner. Family: Husband, William; Sons: Pierce (12) and Owen (10)
Hobbies/Interest Areas: When I am not busy attending my
kids' activities, I enjoy reading, going to plays, taking
photographs, playing on the computer, camping, and running.
