I am the grandma to a beautiful granddaughter and mom to four wonderful children. I have two daughters, two sons, one daughter-in-law and a husband. They keep me going. We love getting together to play games, travel, go boating, camping, watch movies and be in the mountains. My life is crazy sometimes with all that is going on but I love it!!

​

My first memeory of teaching is teaching myself how to tie my shoies when I was about five. then when I was in aout fifth grade, I taught my brother how to ride a bike. That was when I knew I wanted to be a teacher.

​

My path to becoming a teacher has taken many turns and detours but I love it!! I'm never more at home than when I am teaching or with my family. I love seeing the studen'ts eyes light up when they understand something for the first time. I am so excited to be part of this Hawthorn Academy Team!!
