This is my 19th year teaching kindergarten either in Meridian or Boise School District.  This is my 11th year teaching kindergarten at Chief Joseph.  I love teaching kindergarten!  I love seeing how the students go from knowing only a few letters 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 been married for 34 years and have 4 children.  My three oldest daughters are married and I have 5 grandchildren.  My husband and I are slowly getting used to being empty nesters.
