A little about me:  I’m starting my 18th year with CPS, and my first year as a resource educator with the Columbia Area Career Center.  I have a Master’s in Teaching from Columbia College, and am certificated in Special Education and English 9-12.  I'm currently working on a third teaching certificate in the area of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I’ve been in Columbia for 27 years, but have also lived in Oklahoma and California.  I’ve been married for 25 years and have three four-legged kids (a dog and two cats).  I love to watch movies, listen to music, travel, take photos, write and read.
