I’d like you to know this about me:

I will love your child as my own. I will set high expectations for your child's academic and behavioral growth. I will hold your child accountable for what they already know. I will help them stretch and grow to meet their potential. We will observe the patterns in nature and academics that are all around us; and we will talk often about the importance of attitude and the power of "yet".

My favorite things:

I love raising Golden Doodles and Miniature Poodles. Pets, especially a healthy, smart, intuitive dog can bring so much joy and fulfillmentto a person's life. I am an Air Force Veteran. I served 35 years in the Montana Air National Guard and the US Air Force Reserve.
