Educational Background
I am a Terre Haute North graduate. I attended Indiana State University and graduated in 2004 with a B.S. in Elementary Education and a Language Arts endorsement.
Professional History
After graduating from Indiana State, I subbed in Vigo County for five years. I held many long-term positions including: first grade at Sugar Creek Consolidated and Franklin Elementary, fifth grade at Franklin Elementary, 6th grade language arts at Otter Creek, 7th & 8th grade language arts at Chauncey Rose Middle School, and 6th -8th grade at McLean. With all of those opportunities to be in various grade levels, I know that I prefer 8th grade and was thrilled to be offered an 8th grade position here at Woodrow Wilson. I have been here for fourteen years and am proud to call myself a Warrior!
Personal Information
My husband John and I have been married for 33 years. We have two children, John Jr. and Rachael. My husband is a Marine and served in Desert Storm. He works at Amcor, formerly Bemis. My son John graduated from Terre Haute North and Ivy Tech. He works as a nurse at Carlisle Prison. My daughter also graduated from Terre Haute North and is currently enrolled at Indiana State University. She is majoring in Recreational Therapy. As a family we love to go camping. Shakamak State Park is our favorite location. Much of my spare time is spent taking long walks or bike rides with my husband, or simply curling up on the couch with a good book.
