My passion is for helping parents connect to one another for encouragement and support in the most important job they will ever do. It's never too late to improve your parenting skills!

With 15 years of classroom experience as a Junior High Teacher and 2 small boys in our home, I completed an MA degree in Family Life Education at the University of Illinois in Springfield in 1994. I began learning about Love and Logic in 1995 and my husband soon joined in. It gradually changed our family dynamic in really healthy ways! (We couldn't have made it through adolescence without L&L!) It still contributes every day to healthy relationships and vibrant communication in our home.
In 2006, I completed facilitator training at the Love and Logic Institute in Colorado Springs and have been offering classes open to the community and held on the Zion campus since then. I love the difference I see L&L principles making everyday for families of every type.
My full time job is as Director of Family Ministry at Zion Lutheran Church; School in Belleville, Illinois. I am an Independent Facilitator for all 3 Love and Logic curricula.
