"I'm thrilled to start my teaching journey at Licking Elementary! A bit about me: My family and I moved to Salem, Missouri from Southwest Idaho three years ago, and we love this part of the country. My wonderful husband and I have five children between us: three grown-up kids and delightful six-year-old twin girls. The twins will be joining me at Licking, and we're all eagerly anticipating this new adventure together.
In my free time, I enjoy writing, going to the movies, and singing. And like any parent, I cherish a good nap!🎶📽️😴
I can't wait to connect more with the Licking community"
