Home Town: currently is Hickman, Nebraska. I
am not really from anywhere in particular. My dad was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force so we moved frequently. I was born in
Fairbanks, Alaska, but have also lived in Florida, Arizona, North Dakota, twice in England,
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 working toward my Master's degree in
Curriculum and Instruction through Doane College.
Favorite thing about teaching: Watching students'
enthusiasm for literature or writing. I also love to build positive relationships with
students.
Extra Duty Assignments: I am the sophomore class
sponsor, and oversee the 9th grade English Summer
Accelerated Program. I am also the secretary for the Norris Association of
Educators.
Family: My husband Thomas is from Nebraska City

also have two kids, my son Ian is 13, an eighth grader and my daughter Elena is 11
and in sixth grade.
Hobbies/Interest Areas: I enjoy spending
time with my family and friends. I love to travel! In my free time I
also enjoy running, biking, walking, playing golf, and reading.
I also like to bake for family and
friends.
A couple of photos from our trip up to Yellowstone
National Park and Mt. Rushmore in S.D. in May 2008. It was the coldest
Memorial Day I ever remember experiencing, it was snowy and rainy the whole
trip. These were taken on the observation deck at Mt. Rushmore.
