I have been a teacher for 17 years, the last 6 years have been 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; and 18year old and a 11 year old. I have been married to a wonderful artist for 17 years. Last year I got my first dog, Ash, he is a Blue Heeler. I love to draw and paint mixed media.

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