I was born in Dodge City and graduated from high school there.  I went to college at San Diego Mesa College.  Loved that...living at the beach was one of the smartest things I've ever done!  I worked as a para at Goddard High School for eight years before I came to Goddard Academy.  I have been at Goddard Academy since August, 2012 and I love it here.  I have 3 amazing children.  My daughter Rachel is living in North Carolina, married with three daughters. Banner, my other daughter is living in Denver and  is starting up her own nonprofit organazation called “Designed  To Go Far”.  My son Denzel is busy managing a business in Manhattan that was named after him.  It is called Goolsby’s and it is an intertainment venue that is linked to the Bluemont Hotel.  I love to read and travel with my kids. I belong to Saint Elizabeth Anne Seaton Parish.
