Summary
I am a life long resident of Columbia, Missouri and attended Columbia Public Schools. My free time is spent enjoying gardening, reading and family time as a spectator of all sports but especially MIZZOU Tigers, Kansas City Chiefs, Royals Baseball and Tennessee Volunteers. I am a true animal lover and currently have 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a Beta Fish. I am a widow, have two sons, and two grandchildren who bring much joy to my life.
My life passion, is about helping others and especially the students I work with who need that extra special care, assistance and supervision and get so much satisfaction in the positive response I receive from them in return and the important part I play in their lives.
I am a senior, but am still full of life and energy. I am healthy and active and want to remain that way in the future. I am a worker, not a sitter so like to get my steps in and feel that sense of accomplishment each day for what I do for others.
