Biography = = I have been in the field of education for over 22 years. For most of the past 17 years I have taught at East Richland High School. I also spent 2 years at East Richland Middle School where I taught 7th grade language arts. Prior to ERHS, I taught at West Richland Junior High, Clay City High School and St. Joseph School. I currently teach freshman and sophomore English classes. My experience in working with students has extended outside of the classroom to include coaching duties in track and cross country. One of my fondest experiences was coaching a team who qualified for the state meet in Peoria and receiving the Deatur Herald Coach of the Year Award.

When I am not teaching, the majority of my time now is spent watching my own children participate in their sports and activities which include basketball, football, cross country, swimming and baseball. I am also currently enrolled in the Library Certification Program at Illinois State, and will continue to take classes until I have completed the program. I have been married for 24 years, and my husband is part owner in a car dealership in which he and his brothers are the fourth generation of owners.
