I am a 2005 Graduate of Lawson High School and have been a Cardinal all my life. I attended Missouri State University where I studied Middle School Education with an emphasis in both mathematics and science. I am certified to teach math to grades 5-12 and science to grades 5-9. Despite having a middle school education degree I began my career in a high school classroom and spent the first 12 years of my career as a High School math teacher. I then decided to take a position in administration, which I had the privilege to serve at the Lawson High School Assistant Principal. Despite having a great experience in administration, my desire to be in the classroom became evident to me during my time in the office. I made the decision to return to the classroom and am excited to be joining the Lawson Middle School team.
