I am married and have two amazing daughters.  We love to spend time together outdoors at the lake or river.  I love to read and can't live without coffee.  I have been a teacher in Marion County for 20 years. I love my job and working with children.  I strive to provide an environment that is organized so that instruction and learning can take place. I want the environment to be work-oriented, while also being relaxed and friendly. I invest a lot of time building strong relationships with students. My goal for the library this year is to help all students foster a love of reading.
