I have been with the Marion County School Board since 2004, and have taught at Marion Oaks Elementary School since the first day the school opened in 2010!  I have been married to the wonderful Mr. Francis for over 30 years, and we have two beautiful children ages 25 and 9!  I love children, and teaching, which is a perfect fit for the job I do, as my desire is to help each and every one of my students meet their potential so they may achieve their goals, and become independent, life long learners!
