I transferred from the Counseling Center to teach at the Delta Technical Center in 2001 and currently teach Career Exploration/Economics, Web Development, Digital Media, 3D Graphics, and Animation, and serve as the Work-Based Learning Coordinator. I love learning and teaching others. I am a good listener, honest, hardworking, diligent, dedicated, and dependable.

I have won several area awards, including Delta Area Giant, Teacher Up Award, and American Legion Auxiliary Service Award. I feel that the experiences that I have had in my life with work, school, and service have molded me into the person that I am today, and I will be forever grateful for that, and I want to give that to all Delta residents! Please feel free to call or email me anytime. I work for you, the people!
