I’m a local. I graduated from Kingsley High School, but grew up on a small farm “in the middle of nowhere” – now known as the outskirts of Chum’s Corners.
I have been an educator for just over 3 decades. Most of my teaching has been at the post-secondary level. I’ve lived and taught in Michigan, Spain, Arkansas, and Virginia. I moved back to Michigan in the mid-2010’s because my father had terminal cancer. After his passing, I decided to stay in Northern Michigan. Following some experiences as a short and long-term sub in the Northwest Ed ISD, I settled into teaching at Buckley Community Schools in the fall of 2018. This is a great community and school! My passion is to travel and to explore near and far. I also have a small hobby farm with some animals.
