I am a 2007 graduate of MHS and a 2011 graduate of University of Illinois with a Masters Degree in Agriculture Education. I began my teaching career at MHS in the fall of 2011. Throughout my time here I have taught Introduction to Ag, Ag Science, BSAA, Horticulture, Conservation Management, Ag Business, and Greenhouse Management.

I have been the FFA Advisor here at MHS as well where my duties include helping students organize activities at the local through national levels as well as promoting the chapter in the community.

My family and I live in rural Monticello. Brandon, my husband, owns a painting and construction business called Dean Brothers Painting and More. We have two children, Cooper (4) and Molly (2).
