ABOUT ME
Family
I have been married for 25 years to my husband Casey. He teaches US History and AP US History here at GHS. He loves everything about the Dodgers and OSU. We have a son named Tyler. He is 27 years old. He is funny, clever, witty, and nice. He was one of the valedictorians of GHS, class of 2015. Tyler is now working in the vet department at OSU in their software/coding department. He has a bachelor's degree in computer science from OSU. He loves playing Dungeons and Dragons and hanging out with his friends. He enjoys playing his guitar in his free time. He is also a runner and has run several marathons. His girlfriend Emily is studying to be a veterinarian in London. She got her bachelor's degree at OSU. Casey and I have 2 dogs - Vivian and Barnard. Vivian (Viv) likes to pick up sticks, water bottles, and cans, and keep them as a treasure or bury it for later. She is spunky, lovey, and soft. She also talks a lot (makes a lot of cute sounds). Barnard (Barney or Barn Barn) is as energetic as they come. He could live 24/7 on a walk. He was born with one ear up and one ear down and walks a little crooked sometimes. As for myself, I was born and raised in Guthrie. I graduated from GHS in 1995. This is my 17th year teaching. In that 17 years, I have been in two districts, and five buildings, and have taught eight different grade levels. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in my family's donut shop - Daylight Donuts. I love watching T.V., seeing Tyler, watching movies, playing with my dogs, watching funny/cute videos on my phone, and occasionally tagging along to a sporting event with my husband.
