I have lived in Grants Pass my entire life. I went to college in Monmouth, OR, and received a BA in Elementary Ed. For twelve years, I worked as a substitute teacher for School District #7. Now I teach 2nd grade here at New Hope.
My favorite scripture is John 3:16.

My hobbies include reading, gardening, traveling, and walking.
I’m married to Bill, and we have 2 grown daughters, Kristin and Melissa.
