Hi! I am super excited to teach Family and Consumer Sciences this year! I am beginning my 4th year teaching and this is a start of the year like none other, but look forward to communicating with you virtually. The classes that are my responsibility this year are FACS Essentials (aka Lifeskills), Culinary I & II , Food and Nutrition, and Financial Literacy.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, attending church, boating, and baking. I look forward in teaching others my skills in the kitchen. 

The purpose of Family And Consumer Sciences Education is to empower individuals and families throughout the lifespan to manage the challenges of living and working in a diverse, global society. The unique focus is families, work, and their interrelationships. The curriculum is aligned to the knowledge and skills identified within the National Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences Education.
