I have taught for over twenty plus years in a variety of settings and locations.  My formal educational experience includes a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri – Columbia as well as a Master of Arts in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. I enjoy learning and continue to attend workshops, and conferences to keep abreast of the latest in learning.

My husband, Matt, and I celebrated our twenty-sixth wedding anniversary this summer. Matt is the plant manager of the blending facility for Pro Foods in Holt Summit. Together we have a son, Zachary.  He attends the University of Missouri-Columbia.  GO MIZZOU!  He often can be found on the golf course, playing video games, or working for HP at Best Buy.  I am sure you will feel like you know them both well as I often tell stories about my family.

I am looking forward to working with our seventh graders to broaden their reading and writing repertoires. We are going to have an amazing year together!
