I began my teaching career in Richfield when our school was called Richfield Intermediate School. I was a substitute teacher for four years before I got a full-time job. I have taught 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades.
My husband and I live in Bloomington. Our son, Bill, is an X-ray technician. He lives in Richfield with his wife and our grandson, Liam. We have a daughter, Nicole. She is a second grade teacher in Bloomington. She lives there too with her husband and our other grandson, Owen. They will give us our first granddaughter in March.
I love to spend time with my grandchildren, read, shop, run, and practice yoga. I have always wanted to be a teacher. I consider myself to be very lucky to have the chance to work at R-STEM. The students I see teach me something every day.
