About Me:
I am a Missouri native, born in St. Charles and raised in Maryville in the northwest corner of the state. I earned my BA in History and my MA in Education from Truman State University. I have been teaching since 2011 and joined Valley Park High School in 2015. I love learning about almost any subject and what I most want students to get from my teaching is the knowledge to be historically literate and the perspective to imagine other people and ideas complexly. I believe knowledge has intrinsic value and that all people should strive to be lifelong learners. I hope to help all students develop a love of learning that can be applied well beyond their educational careers.
