After college I attended Emporia State University where I received my bachlors in Elementary Education. I later received my masters in the Art of Education from Webster University. Tony DeNoon and I were married in '94 and have two boys, Anthony and Nathan. We divorced 9 years later, but remain civil. I taught at Silver City Elementary for 14 years and am now an instructional coach in the district. I continued to play volleyball throughout and am on a traveling USVBA team....we played against the USA Olympic indoor team last May! (Got stomped, but had a blast.) My boys are now 12 and almost 9, they play all sports and I love watching them become little men.
