Skyview School of STEM is the best place to teach! I teach in the Resource Room, working with students with learning differences. My first years at Skyview came after I received my degree from UNC and spent 3 years teaching in Southeast Colorado. I finished my master’s degree in the spring of ’82 and then came to be part of the first staff at Skyview when it opened in the fall of 1982. I taught special education for 8 years, then spent 7 years with 4th and 5th graders, followed by 4 more years teaching half time special education. I took an 8 year break, came back to teaching and was at Skyview again by 2010.
My own children attended Skyview—my oldest from pre-school-5thgrade and my youngest from kindergarten-5th grade. They are now off on their own, benefitting from the great start they got here. I love to travel and do outdoor activities in the mountains with my husband. I also like to read, sew, cook, and garden. I have a little Morkie dog, Daisy Mae, who helped my husband make it through tough health times and the three of us like to take walks and play ball together.
I love working with kids who have difficulties, especially the “light bulb” moments when they conquer the task that has been hard for them.
