I am delighted to be one of the first grade teachers at Era Elementary School for this year.  I have been involved in education for 37 years serving in administration as well as teaching students from three years old through 8th grade.  I am certified to teach special education and English Language Learners as well.

I have been married to my husband, Ritchie for 45 years. We have three children, two son-in-laws and one daughter-in-law. Our son lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his wife and two daughters. Our oldest daughter, her husband and two daughters live in Philadelphia.  Our youngest daughter lives outside Denver with her husband, two daughters and one son.

I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, where most of my family still live. I love my drive each morning from Forestburg where I see more cows, horses and chickens than people!!  I graduated from Texas Woman's University with a B.S. in Education with a kindergarten endorsement.  I did gratuate level work at Trinity College in Washington D. C.. I also hold Montessori certification for students from 3 years old to 8th grade.

Again, I am delighted to be in Era and look forward to getting to know the students and adults this year.
