Hello! I am so excited to be at Big Lake this year! I have been a full-time teacher for nine years, and was in the classroom as an assistant, ELL tutor, and substitute before that, beginning in 2006.  I took a leave of absence last year for some family issues, and now I am so happy to be back in my own classroom.

I lived in Virginia all my life, until 2015, when I moved to Alaska.  I fell in love with this beautiful state when I came to visit my oldest daughter and son-in-law.  It only took me two years to move here.  I have worked in the Matsu Borough as a teacher since I arrived.  I have another daughter, still in VA, who is a registered nurse at our hometown hospital. I have a crazy German Shepherd named Malakai.  We live at mile 92.5 beyond Willow.

Please feel free to contact me by email or phone if you ever need to.  I am loving this class so far and look forward to a fabulous year.
