Welcome fifth graders! I am so excited to learn and grow with you this year. This will be my fifth teaching and I am thrilled to continue with the Lewis and Clark family!

I earned my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri- Kansas City. Kansas City has been my home for the last eight years, but I am excited to be in Liberty and become a part of this friendly and welcoming community! I am also currently working on my Masters in School Counseling at Emporia State University and will graduate in the Spring.

I was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri. My mother is an elementary school counselor and my father is a high school teacher. We often joke that teaching must run in the family. I have a younger brother an accountant in Springfield. I moved to Kansas City to pursue my degree and I loved it so much I couldn't imagine leaving!

I love all things Kansas City and really enjoy exploring what the city has to offer. In my spare time, I love reading, going to concerts and sporting events, traveling, and, most of all, spending time outdoors.

I cannot wait to see what exciting adventures this year has in store for us. I believe in the greatness in you. It is going to be an amazing year!
