Future Goals and Aspirations

Continue as an instructor at MSU in the ELE program!  I retired from the Missouri Public School System 5 years ago and began my second career at MSU.  I LOVE teaching and am passionate about educating our future teachers.

Life Outside of the University

My hubby and I enjoy traveling to sports events.  I spend most of my summer entertaining my 8 grandchildren.  I have four sons;  three who live in Iowa and coach college football.  We love to check out Diner, Drive-ins and Dives on our travels.
