Many times people want to know "where did you come from?" and "what did you do there?" So... here goes
My background is midwest rural. I grew up on a dairy farm in "Hoosierland". Having the responsibility of milking 60 cows twice a day gave me a great work ethic and a sense of responsibility. Growing up on a farm has also contributed to my growing sense of concern for the safety and conservation of our environment.
Educationally, I graduated from Northeastern High School in Fountain City, IN. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Indianapolis with a dual major in English and French education. In the late '90's, I earned a Masters of Education from Ball State University with a specialty in Educational Administration. Most recently I have completed substantial study at Central Michigan University.
My husband and I live in Coldwater. We have four children, all of whom have gotten married in the past 2 1/2 years! They are scattered about: Howell, MI; Louisville, KY, Durbin, WV; and Toronto, Canada.
I have 11 years teaching experience and 9 years experience as an administrator. I have served as an assistant principal in a jr/sr high school, a high school principal and a middle school principal.
I strive to lead a balanced life. As a result I play piano, mountain dulcimer, am a selective movie fanatic, and am committed to becoming a global citizen who is committed to integrating my life with people from around the world.
