My husband and I have six amazing children. Each of them continues to serve our country and communities in service and leadership roles. We moved our family to Siloam Springs in 2007 because it is a wonderful community to raise children.

I have taught Pre-K and Kindergarten in public schools and continue to hold a current Arkansas P-4^th grade Educator License. I am blessed to serve our community as the director of Pumpkin Patch Pre-K and Kindergarten. My educational background includes graduating from John Brown University, Summa Cum Laude with BS in Early Childhood Education. I am currently in graduate school at Arkansas State University and enjoy continuing education in Early Childhood Administration.
