I have been teaching for a total of 25 years, 20 of those years have been here at Hazelwood West Middle School. I started my career as an accountant and later went back to college for teaching. I’ve taught multiple grade levels, but for the last 12 years, I have been teaching 6th grade at Hazelwood West Middle School.

I love spending time with my family, especially my grandbabies. My husband and I have been married for 34 years and have two grandchildren that live here in Missouri and three that live in
Washington DC. As Empty Nesters, we love to travel and this summer we went to Florence, Venus, and Rome.

One of my favorite Quotes is by Nelson Mandela: "An education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.
