I grew up in a small town near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and hold a degree in Early Childhood Education
from UNC-CH. My husband is also a graduate, so college basketball is serious business in my family! My
husband is a professor in the History department at ISU, and we have three children. Julia is in
ninth grade,
Jacob is in fifth grade, and Matthew is 23 months old. Our last family
member is a Pembroke Corgi, who is seven and named Elvis. My family still lives in North Carolina, and my husband is from Austin, so we spend a
lot of time traveling to see family.
As my husband pursued his graduate degrees, I found myself teaching in a number of places in a variety of jobs.
I taught Reading Recovery, Head Start, second grade, first grade, and kindergarten in Virginia, Kansas, Oregon,
North Carolina, and Illinois. I recently completed my Master's degree in Reading at ISU and graduated
in May of 2010. In my spare time, I love to read, ride my bike, go to the movies, and travel!
