I graduated in May of 2008 from the University of Central Missouri with a Bachelors of Science in Education degree (Early Childhood Special Education). While working on my undergraduate degree, I taught the gross motor/movement program for a private preschool in North Kansas City, as well as, provided home therapy for a child with autism.  I started teaching at Liggett Trail Educaiton Center in the fall of 2008 as an early childhood special education teacher.  In June of 2011, I completed the training for and became an In-District Autism Consultant for the state of Missouri through Project Access.  I earned a Master's Degree in Special Education with an emphasis in autism spectrum disorders at the University of Kansas in August 2011.  This is my fourth year of teaching early childhood special education at Liggett Trail Education Center.  I have also taught extended school year at Liggett Trail Education Center for four summers.  My education and work experience is just a piece of who I am.  I am sure you will get to know more about me, and I can't wait to learn (even more) about you and your family!
