I graduated from Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky in 1986 with an elementary education major for teaching students in K-8th grades and a Spanish minor. After teaching in a few different grades and schools, I decided to stay at home with my children. For the last 9 years, I have
been teaching Spanish I to classes of high school aged home-schoolers. I have been teaching at Sylvan for over a year and have enjoyed meeting and working with all of the students. I have been impressed with Sylvan's ability to pinpoint the exact skills that each student needs. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two teen-age sons. I also enjoy scrap-booking and stamping.
