I began teaching in California, then to Nevada, and finally to Alaska.  I have experience in all grade levels, K-12 with most of my work (and heart) in middle school. 

I moved to Alaska with my husband in 1975 and began public school teaching in the Anchorage School District.  I taught both Special Education and middle school Language Arts at Romig Middle School until my retirement in 1998.

I have worked as an adjunct at Alaska Pacific University since then in both the Education Department and RANA.  My work has taken me all over Alaska and has been a constant joy for me.
I am committed to bringing excellent teachers into the classroom and especially into rural Alaska.
