I'm an open book! Don't be afraid to read it.
I was raised in Bardolph, Illinois and attended school in the Macomb school district. After graduating from Macomb High School, I majored in English Education at Western Illinois University. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree and began teaching at Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High in 1991, where I taught for the next eighteen years.
After eighteen years in the junior high setting, I wanted a change. Therefore, I applied to teach high school English here at Cuba High School. This change allowed me to teach closer to home, rural Lewistown, and have to drive much less. Teaching high school is quite different from teaching junior high, but I enjoy the students here.
Reading is a passion of mine. I can often be found curled up somewhere in the house or out in the yard with a good book. Guess what! Reading is good for you! It builds vocabulary and helps with creative thinking skills. Please encourage your children/friends/etc. to pick up something and read, even if it's just the cereal box at breakfast.
I also enjoy spending time with my husband and my pets. We live on a farm outside of Lewistown where we raise corn, beans and cattle. We can often be found attending and working cattle shows around the area.
If you have any questions for me or just want to chat, please feel free to contact me at 785-5023 or email me at [email protected].
