Job Title:
Fourth Grade Teacher

Tell us about your family:
I have been married to my husband, Royce, for 21 years. We have two boys; Houston is a sophomore, and Harrison is in 7th grade. We also have two dogs; Charley and Doodle. 

How long have you been a teacher/worked in education?
This is my 19th year in education, and in all my years I have been teaching 4th graders. 

What makes you passionate about education?
I love teaching children, because I believe every child has the potential to achieve great things. I find joy in helping them discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop a love for learning.

What is your must-have classroom item?
My must have classroom items are Paper Mate felt tip pens. 

If you had to choose a different grade/subject to teach, what would it be?
I always thought it would be fun to teach 2nd grade, but I really enjoy teaching 4th grade. 

What is something about you that might surprise people?
I lived in Okinawa, Japan when I was in high school from my freshman to junior year. I still know how to speak a little Japanese.
