This is my 20th year teaching kindergarten either in West Ada or Boise School District.  This is my 13th year teaching kindergarten here at Chief Joseph.  I love teaching kindergarten!  I love seeing how the students go from knowing only a few letters/sounds at the beginning of the year to reading by the end of the year.  I also love their enthusiasm and excitement for learning!

I have 4 children, 6 grandchildren, and 2 more grandsons coming the end of May.  

Outside of teaching I enjoy sewing, all types of sports (especially watching my kids participate), and spending time with my children and grandchildren.
