Hello everyone.  I grew up in Hillsboro and graduated from HHS in 1987.  I went to college for two years before deciding to take a job as a teacher's aide at Coffeen Elementary School, where I worked for five years.  I then transferred to Hillsboro High School and worked as a teacher's aide for four years before deciding to go back to school to be a Special Education teacher.  In December 2000, I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a BS in Education and began teaching at Hillsboro High School in August 2001.  I coached volleyball at HJHS and HHS between 1989 and 2002. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing darts and bags, camping, fishing, and gardening.
