Life I met my husband in college. We've been married since 1987, we have two children, a son who is in 10th grade and a daughter in 8th grade. My husband is a police officer for the KCMO police department. I am a kindergarten teacher for the NKCSD. Update:::: I am now a fourth grade teacher. I love the K kids, but it was time for a change and this group of kids were my favorite K class, I am really enjoying my year - they are awesome! I am super involved in the NEA - teacher's union. I have gone to several state representative conventions and then the National in Philadelphia - it was really an experience to be with 10,000 teachers and 7 presidential candidates, including one Republican, which is a first in 150 years of the NEA! They send me all over the country and I really feel like I'm developing as a leader. I've been nominated to be on the executive committee and I'm all over that nomination! Wish me luck...
