Lets see. Where to begin. Well, I was born in August.... nah I don't need to go back that far. Just teasing you!! Seriously now.... I came to Garrett in 1997 to teach science in the Jr./Sr. High School. I quickly realized I liked working with the middle school level student. That is where I first got to know all of you. Hopefully, that will help us in the long run. I know the girls of this team already. I have worked with all of you and know your potential. I have been teaching now for 11 years and getting ready to start my 12th year in the fall. I am sure you all have fond memories of 8th grade science. Because I can remember quite a lot from the years you were all in my class. LOL.... wether you would like me to or not. All of those "interesting" questions. Yeah, I remember.

I have been the varsity volleyball coach before this upcoming season. I coached J.V. in the 1997-98 season, and varsity in the 1998-2001 seasons. Six years ago I resigned my position to start a family. And now I am back. I hope to teach you many aspects of volleyball. The strategy, techniques, and the commitment needed to reach your potential. (I also coached track for 9 years as well, at another school)

My family.... my husband's name is Dave and he is a teacher at Churubusco Middle School. We have three children. Kaitlyn is our oldest and is going to be in first grade next year. Rachel is next, and she will be in pre-school next year. Joshua, is our youngest, and he will turn 3 in July. I am sure you have seen them all in the many pictures I have in my classroom. And I am sure you will see all of them this year at games and the end of practices.
