A bit more about me:

I am a single mom with a 10-year-old daughter, Jasper, and a 7-year-old daughter, Jorey. I completed both my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree at KU and won "Teacher of the Year" in 2005 at LHS, "Sunflower Bank Teacher of the Month" in 2010 at FSHS, and "Sunflower Bank Teacher of the Year" in 2011 at FSHS. I taught at LHS for seven years, the Juvenile Detention Center for one year, and have been at Free State for eight years. I have taught all courses in the district from Fundamentals in Mathematics through Advanced Placement Statistics and have tutored many more at the college level.
