Family: My husband, Dana, and I have 4 children: Nick, 28; Rachel, 22; Jennifer, 26; and Allison, 21. Nick is in a PhD program at U.K. and Rachel is majoring in geology at U.K. Jennifer and her husband, Omar, recently moved to Arkansas where he is doing campus ministry at the University of Arkansas.

Family: Son-in-law Omar, stepdaughters Allie and Jenn, daughter

Birthplace: Lexington, Kentucky
Education: B.A. in Education/Special Education; MSLS from the University of Kentucky.
Experience: I taught moderately and severely mentally/multiply
handicapped students for 6 years in Garrard and Jessamine Counties before becoming a
librarian in Woodford County. I have been at Northside Elementary since it
opened in 1992. This is my 23rd year of teaching.
Hobbies: I love to read (especially mysteries), work in my flower garden, take photographs, sing, and travel. I'm a member of the Lexington Singers, a chorus of approximately 150 singers. Our most recent trip was to Brazil in the summer of 2007, where I got to go hang gliding (see photo below)! The summer of 2003 we spent 10 days in Italy, where we performed in Rome, Venice, and Florence. We have also sung at Carnegie Hall in New York (1999); at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris; and in Austria (2000). My daughter and I went to Egypt over Christmas break (2007), where we rode camels at the Pyramids of Giza. How awesome is that?
