All About Me

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to be part of the team at Ballard High School, where I serve as a Resource Teacher. I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about my background.

I was raised in the close-knit community of Maryville, Missouri, and graduated from Maryville R-II High School in 1995. I continued my education at Northwest Missouri State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education with a minor in Health and Coaching in 2009.

I’m currently working toward my Master’s degree and Strategist I and II (All) endorsement through Grand View University, with plans to graduate summer of 2026. I’m excited to continue growing professionally so I can better support the diverse needs of our students.

Family is at the heart of my life. I’ve been married to my husband, Nate Boock, since 1999. Together, we have three amazing children: our son Kaydence (born in 2002), our daughter Kerrigan (2004), and our youngest, Keslee (2013).

I am deeply passionate about my role here at Ballard and committed to supporting the growth and success of all our students. I’m truly grateful to be part of such a welcoming and dedicated educational community. Thank you for making me feel at home!
