Home Town: Hickman, Nebraska.  I don't really have a home town, my dad was in the Air Force so we moved frequently.  I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, have lived in England twice, Florida, Arizona, North Dakota and now Hickman. 
Year you entered the teaching profession: I graduated from UNL in December 1998 but then stayed home with my children for seven years before coming to Norris in 2005
Degrees Held & Institution Received From:
  BS in English with my endorsement in Secondary Education from University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  I am currently applying for my Master's degree in English to UNL
Favorite thing about teaching: Watching students enthusiasm for literature or writing, and building positive relationships with students.
Extra Duty AssignmentsI help out with homecoming but am focused on furthering my education and spending time with my family.
Family:  My husband Thomas is from Nebraska City so we have a friendly rivalry since they are in the same conference.  I also have two kids, my son Ian is 9, a fourth grader and my daughter Elena is 7 and in second grade.
Hobbies/Interest Areas:   I enjoy gardening, playing golf, traveling, reading and being with family and friends.
