I'm starting my 20th year in education. I was a paraprofessional for 5 years and have been a certified teacher for 15 years. I have taught grades kindergarten through sixth. I graduated high school from Bowling Green. My favorite school subjects were science and reading. I attended St. Charles Community College and Missouri Baptist University.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy working outside in my garden and flower beds, visiting historical sites, fishing, and spending time with my grandson Jaxon.
