Hello! My name is Carmen. This is my 5th year at CFES.  I have been married to my husband, James, for almost 22 years and we have 4 children.  We are originally from Indiana and Wisconsin but have lived in 4 different states and 5 different cities together. Our children have enjoyed their time in OCS. I love watching football and even though I love watching the Dawgs, my favorite team to cheer for is the Chicago Bears.

My hobbies include baking, traveling, and spending time with family.  I have a degree in Elementary Education and especially enjoy working with Kindergarteners.  Kindergarten is a time where students grow in many areas - academically, socially, and emotionally.  It's easy to grow fond of the little ones that spend their day in our classroom. I am committed to seeing that each child that enters our room feels safe, loved, encouraged, and challenged.
