| Location | Aurora, Illinois, United States |
| Introduction | I grew up on a farm in Nebraska. I always wanted to be a teacher and stayed with that path my entire life, beginning with "teaching" the alphabet to my stuffed animals to finishing my Ph.D. so I could become a trainer of teachers. |
| Interests | Literacy learning, school climate, teacher development |
| Favorite movies | Too many to name, I love a great love story (The Notebook, for example), but also like good mysteries or comedies. |
| Favorite music | Pretty low key stuff -- Simon and Garfunkel; John Denver; Peter, Paul, and Mary; even some "light" country/western, like the songs in Country Strong. |
| Favorite books | Again, too many to name. I usually have 3-4 books going at once, one that's light reading, maybe a mystery, one that relates to teaching, and one that falls into the realm of spiritual issues. |
