Welcome! I am excited to work with the Humanities and World History students at Shepton this year. Shepton opened in 1984 and I was here. This will be my 41st year at SHS and my 46th year teaching. Over the years, I have loved teaching US History, Geography and World History along with a few other subjects. Along with World History, I co-teach Humanities, which is a two year course for gifted students who receive their Pre-Ap English I and AP World History credit. I have a passion for history and hope to inspire my students with a love to know where we came from so we can know where we are going! When not at Shepton, I love to travel and have been fortunate to adventure to Canada, England, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Colombia, Kenya, Honduras, and Malawi. I also love to read and spend time with family and friends.
