I have been teaching since 1985, but I have been at Cherokee since 2006. I love to teach, I am a voracious reader, and write as often as I can. I love spending time with my 3 kids: Chris - a sophomore at University of Arkansas; Ben - a junior at Kickapoo; and Emma - a 7th grader here at Cherokee! I spend my time with color guard and the Kickapoo band and drum line and can be found teaching Bible Study to middle school girls on Wednesday nights at First and Calvary. My husband, Mike, and I have been married for 26 years!
