I started at Gentry Middle School in 2020. I grew up in a small community in Northeast Missouri, went to college at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville and studied Elementary Education and Cross Categorical Special Education. In 2019 I obtained my Master's Degree in Special Education from the University of Missouri here in Columbia. Middle School aged students are my favorite group of learners to work with!  I am the DASI Teacher and the 8th grade Girls Basketball Coach.
