Welcome!

Welcome to the 2020/2021 school year.  This is my ninth year teaching 7-12 Special Education at South Ridge.  My teaching license consists of early childhood to 6th grade along with k-12 special education. I have served in the Army National Guard and completed my contract April of 2016.  It has been a growing experience for me and has allowed me to become the person I am today.

I am married and have three children.  My daughter graduated college in December and now works as a Forester. The oldest boy has graduated college, is working full time as an engineer, and married.  I can now add I'll be a grandma in January.  The youngest is still in college. I enjoy spending time with my family, my summers at the cabin in Wisconsin, gardening, and reading.  

                              I look forward to another great school year!
