I grew up in North Idaho and Washington State with my two younger brothers.
Both of my parents are teachers, so I think teaching is a family calling.
After college, I taught a 5th, 6th, and 7th grade combination class. Then I
decided I needed to get out of the rain and snow prompting me to move to
beautiful Palm Springs, CA. There I taught the 6th grade “gifted and
talented” program. In Palm Springs, I met my husband, Benjamin, who moved us
to Austin for his job. He works as an attorney and realtor. After teaching
middle school for a year in Texas, I decided I would like to teach all
subjects in the elementary setting. I have really enjoyed teaching 5th grade.
