I was born and raised on the coast of California in Santa Barbara which is 100 miles north of Los Angeles. The beach was minutes away and I spent lots of summer days digging in the sand and riding the waves on my inflatable raft. My husband and I moved to Nebraska in 1979 to sample “the good life” and we decided it truly was a good life. Before moving to Nebraska, we were farming and ranching on his family ranch near Solvang, California. I do miss the “smell” of the beach and our families who still live in California. We have two children - our son works in Computer Services at Chadron State College and our daughter is employed at Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona.
I enjoy mountain biking with my dog on the Pine Ridge trails south of Chadron. I also enjoy Geocaching – a treasure hunt using a Global Positioning System (GPS). It takes us to many interesting places in my yellow 1971 VW convertible. Camping, hiking, and the outdoors are other interests of mine.
I love to be physically active and my primary goal in teaching is to instill that love in my students. My objective is to introduce them to many activities - and the benefits of physical activity - so that they will enjoy an active and healthy life.
