I was born in Oklahoma, raised in Texas, then moved to Kansas, Colorado, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and then to Stuttgart, Germany. We traveled all over Europe and Africa and I developed an even greater love of history. In 2004, my husband retired from the military (Army-Special Forces) and began working for Boeing, and I began my teaching career. We were transferred to Saint Louis 5 years ago. This is my 5th year in SLPS and my third year at Metro.
