I earned my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education and a minor in Middle School/Jr. High Mathematics and Language Arts from Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, MO in 1993.I earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching in 2002 from Webster University.In March of 2010, I started working on another Masters Degree.
I began my teaching career in the fall of 1994 teaching 5th grade at Strasburg School.The following school year, I taught 5th -8th grade.After two years in Strasburg, I took a teaching position at Daniel Young Elementary in the Blue Springs School District and taught 4th grade for eleven years.Then, in the fall of 2007, I moved to Thomas Ultican Elementary.During my first two years at TUE, I taught 3rd grade.Finally, I was moved to 2nd grade and am currently teaching that grade level.
I love to spend time with my family and friends.I have lived in Blue Springs most of my life.As a child, I even attended Thomas Ultican for kindergarten through 6th grade.In my free time I enjoy playing soccer, reading, and playing games.I have two hamsters named Hercules and Checkers.
