I began teaching 5^th grade at Mansfield in 1997. After 15 years, I began teaching both 5^th and 6^th grades. After 27 years, I left the classroom and spent year 28 as the middle school counselor and eSchool coordinator. As the middle school and high school have merged this year, I am excited to begin year 29 in a new position as career coach at Mansfield High School.
