August 2014 was the start of my teaching computers at Lincoln Elementary. When the district went to attendance centers the following year, I began teaching at Jefferson Elementary as well.

My teaching career started at Yates Center High School in Yates Center, KS in 1982. I taught business education for 32 years at YCHS. I also coached volleyball for 7 years, sponsored many classes, and was the adviser for the Future Business Leaders of America chapter in Yates Center.

Outside of school, I was an Iola Girl Scout troop Leader from 2011-2018. The members progressed from 2nd-grade Brownies through 8th-grade Cadettes. We participated in many troop activities, trips, camps, and cookie sales.
