My teaching experiences include 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 6th grade, Special Education, Art and Leadership at the middle school level. I am now starting my 19th year here at Atlas in 5th grade. I am also a TBRI Practitioner, technology leader for Atlas, part of our leadership team, as well as the Sources of Strength Elementary Coordinator.

 I have two boys. Jordan is seventeen and is a senior at CHS. My youngest is Gibson, who is fifteen and is a freshman at CHS. My husband teaches at CHS and coaches football  and track there.We are both passionate about teaching and helping mold the next generation. We spend our time outdoors whenever we can and love watching our boys play football, wrestle, run track, fish and hunt, and snowboard.
