Professionally: This year I am teaching six classes of 6th grade reading. I am also teaching one class at CSU-Pueblo: Bilingual Education. In past years, I have taught 8th and 7th grade reading; Language! to 7th and 8th graders; English as a second language; and 8th grade language arts. In addition, I have had the priviledge of teaching English in China during the summers of 2006 and 2007. I have my master's degree in education with an emphasis in diverse language learners, from CSU-Pueblo. Personally: My husband and I have been married for 32+ years. We have three children and three grandchildren. I enjoy reading, traveling, camping, shopping, and Rockies and Sky Sox games.
