Advocating for children and education has been my life's work for

over 40 years. I enjoy the energy and challenges associated with

young people and see the bright face of the future in their dreams

and abilities.

I have taught English and social studies and coached a debate

team at the high school level; was a Clinical Demonstration

Teacher at the CPD ( when it was the Exceptional child Center), and

spent the last 20 years teaching at Logan High School in the Resource

Department.

I am the mother of three grown children and grandma to two

great grandchildren.

Other than education, my interests include art, music, literature and

gardening.  My art studio is at my home in Logan. I work mainly in watercolors,

oil pastels and fiber arts. I enjoy the creative process and love sharing

the end results with friends.  Making some extra dollars at art shows

can be nice.  Playing the guitar and writing songs is also an enjoyable

pastime. Glad to be here.
