This is my eleventh year of teaching. I am very excited for this year! I was born on November 7th in Carl Junction, MO. This is where I was born and raised. I graduated from High School in 2009. My motto is “Once a bulldog always a bulldog.” I love Carl Junction! In the fall of 2012 I graduated from Pittsburg State University with my teaching degree, and in May of 2019 with my masters in Special Education. Go Gorillas! Some of my interests are: being with family and friends, reading, and doing crafts. I have been looking forward to meeting all my new students! This will be a great year!
