About The Teacher

I am excited to be diving in to my 3rd year here at Cure!  I can't believe 
this will be my 13th year of teaching!  I come from Western Kansas where I 
began teaching 2nd grade in Hays.  After 4 years, I moved to Lawrence with my 
husband, Eric, and taught 4th grade for 6 years in a little town north of 
Lawrence - Lecompton.  We moved to the Kansas City area 3 years ago when Eric 
accepted a job at UMKC.  He is the Director of Housing/Assistant Dean of 
Students for the university.  

We have two children: Dylan will be a second grader here, and Lauryn will be 
in the 4-year-old preschool room at Brookridge.

One of my favorite pastimes is reading junior novels and series.  I like to 
be able to recommend and discuss books with the students.  Come in ready to 
talk books!!  I also enjoy cross-stitching, doing puzzles, and Sudoku.

Mission For The Class

My mission is to provide a Catholic education which offers each student the 
opportunity to reach his/her potential.  With Jesus by my side, I will 
guide, encourage, and challenge every child in my class to become a lifelong 
learner who contributes to society with heart, mind, and soul.
