This year will begin my 13th year of teaching. I have five years of teaching experience in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I taught two years of 1st/2nd grade and three years of 4th grade. I then took off eight years to stay home with my children. During this time I earned a Master's Degree in Elementary Reading and Literacy. I began teaching all-day kindergarten at Carey School, in 2010, for one year. I then changed to the 4th grade in 2011 and absolutely love it! I also supervise the Carey junior high cheerleaders! My three teenage children and husband are always keeping me on the run. We enjoy many recreational activities together such as boating, camping, hunting, running and hiking.  We also love attending various sporting events and cheering on the Carey Panthers!
