As a child, we moved around a lot.  I started school in Enterprise; then I went to junior high when we lived in Hiawatha.  We lived in Garden City for a short time and finally, I finished high school in Oakley.  After high school, I attended Kansas Wesleyan, majoring in English.  After student teaching at Central High School, I accepted a job in Cedar Vale, Kansas, where I was, for the most part, the entire English department  In 1988, I started teaching at Southeast of Saline, where I have spent the past 31 years. Now in my 32nd year at SES and my 37th of teaching, I teach English 9, English 11, Film, Drama, and Public Speaking.  I also sponsor the Student Council, Forensics, TRUST, the All School Play and the junior and senior classes.  I love teaching, and I love SES!
