This is my 17 year teaching for Elkhart ISD. I am starting my first year at the Middle School and High School campuses in the Ag Department as the Principles of Agriculture teacher and Floral Design teacher. I am looking forward to seeing past students and fostering a love for agriculture. My goal is to unlock their potential and find an avenue for each student's interests and strengths through agricultural education and the FFA.
I am married to Lance Gabbard and we have two children who attend Elkhart ISD: MacKinsey and Lane. We have a menagerie of animals at home and we love show season! In my spare time I love to read, eat sweets, and spend time with family and friends.
