I have been a teacher for 21 years, this is my 8th year at Hopkins Elementary. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade as a classroom teacher and an art teacher for pre-k through 6th grade. 

I have 2 sons; an 18 year old and a 12 year old. I have been married to a wonderful artist for 18 years. I got my first dog, Ash, he is a Blue Heeler. I love to draw, paint, mixed media and knit.

I also enjoy working out, especially new workouts that are challenging. Gardening is my new love too!
