Biography
Teaching Experience
- I started working for DMPS part time in 1991 as a noon associate doing cafeteria & recess duty. During my 2nd year I also started riding the bus from Casady to Monroe Elementary to supervise students to and from school. I decided to apply for a full time position in 1995 as a Special Education Associate. I worked at Monroe Elementary for 13 years and the fall of 2003 I transferred to King Elementary which is my forever home.
Family/Hobbies
- I have been married to my husband Adan for 27 years. I have two son's Yancey and Brandon. At this time I have three granddaughters Mykenzey 13, Haileigh 5, Bianca 3 and soon will be welcoming my fourth in September. I have one very special grandson Christian age 12. I also have three very spoiled dogs, Sadie-Lab, Sadina-Pomeranian and Minnie-Chihuahua. I enjoy shopping, going on walks, spending time with my family and taking my grandchildren to the zoo, Adventure Land and the IA State Fair.
