Teaching has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl!  I've been able to live that dream for more than 20 years!  The first three years were as a 5th grade teacher in Gretna, Nebraska, where I was also blessed with the opportunity to coach high school volleyball and 8th grade basketball.  We then moved to Hastings, where I continued coaching volleyball and taught fourth grade.  When my husband accepted the position of Deputy County Attorney in Saunders County, we moved back to Lincoln.  I taught Kindergarten for one year at Norwood Park Elementary, followed by seven years of fifth grade at Roper Elementary School.  Then the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself... opening Kooser Elementary with an amazing group of people!  (Can you believe I was the ONLY 5th grade teacher the first year? Look at us now!) We've seen our mission come to life and I feel incredibly blessed to teach in this amazing community!
