I was born and raised in Wichita and attended Goddard Schools – I even went to Challenger at one point! After that, I went to the University of Kansas (go Jayhawks!) where I completed my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and my Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction.
I started my teaching career with Derby Public Schools in a first grade classroom for four years before I moved back to Goddard to teach Kindergarten, which I taught for eight years. I’m so lucky to have so many of my former students again at Challenger! I’m also enjoying meeting students from Earhart, Oak Street, and students who just joined the Goddard district.
