  3. About Me • I was born and raised in Ottawa, Kansas. I am the youngest of four children. I have very close to my family. I currently live in Gardner with my husband Zach, my twelve year-old son Jack, and my four and a half year-old daughter Kathleen. I have two dogs, a cat and a 3 fish. • I graduated from Ottawa University with a BA in Business Communications in 1999. In 2003, I returned to Ottawa University to work toward my teaching license. This is my ninth year teaching. This is my eighth year at McAuliffe. • My free time is spent with my parents and other extended family. I love to crochet and watch true mystery shows. I am involved with our church and I tend to cheer loudly for the Jayhawks during basketball season.
