I was born and raised in California and it was there that I attended Delta Community College and went for my secretarial certificate. I had my first job as an Administrative Assistant to a department manager at American Savings and Loan Company. Due to cost reduction layoffs, I moved to Reno and married the love of my life, Stephen.
We have 4 children; 3 girls and one son that have all grown up and moved away. We currently have 4 grandchildren with one more due in July of 2010.
Ever since I can remember, I have loved being involved with children and their learning process. I went to work for Washoe County School District in 1995 as a teacher’s aide. After one year, we moved our family to Elko. In September of 1997, I was hired to work in the cafeteria at Elko Junior High for 5 years. I received an injury and was put into the position of a teacher’s aide once again. For two years I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Special Needs students and then placed into my own classroom to do Study Hall for seven additional years. I found a real passion for helping students with their homework, school projects and getting organized.
This past summer, I was given what I consider to be an opportunity of a lifetime to get back into the Administrative Assistant role. I became very excited and nervous at the same time and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute I have spent with E.I.A.A. getting to know the students, the parents and the wonderful staff.

Together… my husband and I love to fish, hunt, camp, garden, and ride our dirt bikes in the hills of Elko. When alone my favorite pastimes are reading, sewing, walking, and being with my family.
