Greetings! This page gives me a chance to tell a little bit about myself. I
graduated from Indiana State University and have taught grades K-8. I have
been teaching at Mayo for several years and love being a part of this school.
Sixth Grade General Science and Reading are the subjects I presently teach,
as well as being a sponsor for the yearbook, student council and team leader.
I enjoy getting involved with the happenings at Mayo and seeing what
our students will contribute to the school and community every year.
My husband Kirby and I have two sons. My oldest son is a “Fightin'
Engineer” who graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He
works as a mechanical engineer in Florida designing and building small arms
primarily for our military and law enforcement. My youngest son is a
“Marching Sycamore” who graduated from Indiana State University as a Social
Studies Education major. He currently is teaching High School classes in
northwestern Illinois. My husband and I keep busy with our two
boys, our pets (four dogs, two cats, and a bird), foster
dogs, trips to Florida, trips to northern Illinois and keeping everything on
the home front cleaned up!
We love to travel to historical and/or “science” places when we have the time.
We are both Tennessee Volunteer fans (no we are not Illini fans!) and are
looking forward to the days when we can retire to the great state of
Tennessee! For now, I love teaching here at Mayo and going to ISU and RHIT to
watch their games.
My mission for this class is to make science fun and interesting. I want my
students to see that science is all around them and to understand the "why"
of what is around them.
