I am so honored to live and teach in the Northeast community.  Mickle has been my school home for 25 years.  Teaching is a joy and I am inspired daily by the amazing kids who enter my life.  My moto is that learning should be fun and everyday brings something new for us to grow from. 

A little about me....

I am orginially from Burns, Wyoming but went to middle school and high school in Haslett, MI.  I played volleyball, basketball, and ran track.  I moved to Lincoln in 1991 to attend UNL.  I orginally started as a nursing major and wanted to go into the Air Force ROTC program but decided teaching was my passion at the end of my freshman year.  I double majored in English and P.E..

I student taught at Southeast High School for P.E. and finished my semester at Mickle in 7th grade English.  This year marks my 25th year of teaching at Mickle.

I am married to my husband Shon and we have two children, Gabriella (28) and Ethan (16).  We also have two Chihuauas, Ziggy and Beyna.

In my free time I enjoy watching my son play football and throw discus and shot put.  I also enjoy traveling, reading. watching other sports, gardening, and spending time with my  family.
