Mr Cretin took advantage of the nice weather by having his 8th grade career class pick trash up at the MS/HS campus. Great community service opportunity for our students! #BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong

I am currently the instructional coach at Atkins Elementary, starting my seventh year here. I have also taught K-3 Intervention, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade during my 6 other years in the district. I love to spend time outside with my family including my two sons, Beau and Jace, who keep me very busy! I also enjoy reading, watching HGTV, and cooking for my family.

This is the start of my 24th year at Benton Community as an elementary counselor. Prior to that, I taught middle school math in another district for four years. My husband Matt and I live in Atkins, and my two kids are both Benton graduates. I enjoy playing and watching sports, especially the Bobcats and Cyclones!
Bobcat volleyball! Go Cats!
