Welcome to  my home page.  I am a graduate of Flora High School and of Eastern Illinois University where I majored in English and minored in physical education with 6-12 teaching certification.  This is my 10th year of teaching, with it being my 6th in the Flora District.  Currently, I teach sophomore English and sophomore Honors English at FHS.

     Prior to teaching in the Flora District, I taught high school for four years in the Stark County District, freshmen and sophomore levels, and coached varsity volleyball at Stark County High School and also coached volleyball for Flora High School for two years.  I have previously taught Composition I and Comp/Analysis II for 10 years at Frontier Community College.  I operated my own business, Custom Threads & More for 25 years.

     I have been married to Bob Krutsinger for 27 years, and we have two children, Bryton, 25, and Bria, 20.  In my spare time, I enjoy attending sporting events and cheering on all of the Flora teams.  I also love to read and pass my love of reading on to my students.  I am thoroughly enjoying not only being back in teaching, but also being back in the school district where I, my husband, and our children attended.
