My teaching career began in 1992, where I was hired as a third grade teacher at Henry Timrod Elementary School in FSD1.  I taught various grades there until 2001.   I then transferred to Greenwood Elementary School, where I taught fifth and sixth grade for 17 years.  This is my first year at JW Moore, and I am teaching ELA for grade 6.  I love teaching young minds new information and life skills!   I have 3 sons- one is a recent college graduate, one is a US Marine, and one is now entering the college world. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and my two 4-legged pups, and I also play the piano, write short devotions, volunteer as a McLeod chaplain, and swim.
