After great school experiences at Oak Grove ES, Hidden Valley Intermediate, Cave Spring JR High, and Cave Spring High School, I attended Va Tech. What a fabulous campus and community to be a part of.... I am so proud to be a Hokie. I met my husband Michael at VT. We have been married for 26 years. We traveled quite a bit during the first 6 years of marriage due to his job--playing minor league baseball (up to AAA and a winter in Dominican Republic) with the St Louis Cardinals. We did realize there was life after baseball. We settled in Va Beach for 8 years where I taught school in Norfolk, VA. My inner city school experiences were most rewarding. We moved to Colorado Springs in 1994. I started school again and received my masters degree from University of Colorado, Colorado Springs and then pursued my principal license degree (yes, another 30 hours of college) from the University of Phoenix. After 5 years in the classroom teaching 2nd and 3rd grade and serving as the literacy coach, I served in the central office of our school district as the Literacy Facilitator K-12 and Professional Development Coordinator. This past year, I decided I needed a dose of kids and became an assistant principal. There is nothing better than watching kids learn. My days are never, ever dull!! Michael and I have 2 wonderful daughters, Jess 22 and Jill 19. It has been such a blessing to have them in our lives. Michael and I cherish our time with them. They are truly a gift.
