I’m a passionate educator with over 20 years of teaching experience and the proud owner of a thriving preschool. Growing up in Nebraska instilled in me the deep values of family, friendship, and community — all of which continue to inspire my work every day. My lifelong love for teaching has naturally evolved into a mission: to make reading magical for children and families. With a joyful spirit and a great sense of humor, I’ve poured my heart into my debut publication, Don't Let Out A Hoot! This playful, interactive book is a celebration of imagination, laughter, and the power of storytelling. As both a writer and educator, I am dedicated to sparking a love for reading in young minds — turning every page into an adventure and every book into a memory. I’m grateful for the life experiences that have shaped me, and I use those moments to inspire, uplift, and spread joy through the pages I write
