About ME.....
I have been a teacher for 23 years and I am truly blessed to do what I love!
This is my 11th year at Cottonwood Elementary.
Before I came to Cottonwood I was an Inclusion Consultant/LD Teacher/Homebound Teacher for Central Kansas Cooperative in Education for 10 years. I was based out of Abliene and served the White City, Hope, Herington, Chapman, Solomon, and Abilene schools. Before I moved to Salina in 1997, I taught in the Odessa R7 school district in Odessa, MO where I was a behavior disorders teacher for K-6 for 3 years.
I received my Bachelor's degree in special education from University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO. Go Mules!! I have since then earned a Master's and a Leadership License in education from Baker University. I also have an endorsement in English as a Second Language. I am a Kagan certified trainer and coach. I am always looking for ways to increase my education through college classes and workshops.
I have been married to my husband Huey for 19 years and we have a beautiful daughter, Zoie who is 16. Zoie is a junior at Central High School. She is an avid runner and loves basketball.
