 This is my 2^nd year teaching at Diller-Odell.   I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in December 1997 with Bachelor of Arts in Education- endorsement: Art K-12 and plan to get a Master’s Degree in the next few years.  My first two years teaching were at Dorchester Public Schools teaching K-12 Art, Keyboarding and the Computer Class.   I am originally from Odell, Nebraska and graduated from Odell High School in 1993.

 My husband and I have been married for 29 years and I live in Beatrice.  We have three children. Our son is a Senior at Beatrice High School this year.  Our two daughters are both in their 20's.  I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, learning new things and creating. 

 It is great to be part of the staff at Diller-Odell and teach our Griffins of all ages encouraging them to grow, learn, and be their best.   – Mrs. Klaus
