I am originally from Kansas City, Missouri. I graduated from the University of Central Missouri with a degree in Elementary Education. Also, I received two masters degrees from Baker University; one in Education and the other in School Leadership. I began my teaching career in 2007. I taught third grade for three years at Raymore-Peculiar School District in Peculiar, MO. Then, I taught fourth grade for seven years at Liberty Public Schools in Liberty, MO. I started teaching at Ballard in 2017 and I taught 6th grade. In 2018, I moved to teaching 7th grade literacy which I taught for three years before making the move back to third grade. I moved to East in 2021 and have been teaching third grade since. I love it!
My husband, Josh and I live in the community with our light yellow lab named Gus. Our five year old daughter, Emma, keeps us very busy. We love spending time as a family and going to the lake.
Since I am from Kansas City, I am a HUGE Chiefs and Royals fan! I love fall because that means Chiefs football! We are an Iowa State Family... Go Cyclones! I love playing and watching sports. My favorite thing to do in my spare time is watch TV. I have a lot of favorite TV shows, but I love reality TV, Big Brother is my favorite!
