I was born and raised in Nucla and had the opportunity to come back to the area after graduating college to raise my two boys with my husband, Perry. Both my boys, Kyle and Weston, graduated from Norwood and have been very successful in pursuing careers they both love. I moved back right after college graduation for my first teaching job as a 4th grade teacher. I taught in that position for 5 years. I then became a business owner for the next 4 years and realized that teaching was my true calling. I became the 1st grade teacher at Norwood schools for the next 13 years. After becoming interested in administration, I went back to school to get my masters and am currently the acting  Vice Principal at a school where I have dedicated most of my career.  I enjoy all the activities this area has to offer, like hunting, fishing, biking and the simple country life. I absolutely love living here and being a part of all the amazing kids I interact with. I love being a part of a school where kids are able to pursue their passions in life by giving them the education and experiences they need to be successful. I want our school to be a place that kids, teachers and the community want to be and stay in.
