Teaching and Counseling Experience
I have been in middle school education since 2007. I taught for seven years in Blue Springs, Missouri as a middle school FACS teacher. During that time, I also worked to complete my degree in counseling and did a semester of practicum and two semesters of internship working with students in a counseling capacity. I graduated in December of 2013 and joined Pleasant Lea Middle School in the fall of 2014. I love PLMS and working with your child as they explore their academic goals, social goals, and plan for their futures.
