All About Me

Welcome to my web page! I'm a Kindergarten teacher here at Southwest Elementary. This is my sixth year here at Southwest, with all six years in Kindergarten. I taught in the Richmond School District for five years before coming to Lawson. I graduated from the University of Central Missouri in 2007 with my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I earned my Masters of Education Administration from William Woods University in 2010. I have been in the education field for 10 years.

My husband Eric and I have four boys. Elijah is in 6th grade, Macalan is in 4th grade, Grant is in 2nd and Madden just started Pre-K. We are a very active family! We enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, fishing, riding ATV's and traveling.
