Hello! I am originally from Springfield, MO and have lived in Barrington, Rhode Island (for college); Richland, MO; Parker, CO and now Brookings, SD! My husband and I were married in 2000 and have three children (2 girls and 1 boy). My husband has been teaching Religion at SDSU since 2011 which is what brought us to Brookings. I have been teaching since 2006, with the exception of a break I took to stay home with my children from 2010 - 2014. I have taught 3rd - 8th grades. My favorite subject to teach is Math!
