I am married and have 2 children.  I have been a teacher at Southern Boone since 1993.  I have taught second grade, kindergarten and am currently teaching preschool.  I enjoy working with young children.  Watching them grow and learn is so very rewarding.  I look forward to coming to school each and every day.

I grew up in Columbia, graduated from Hickman, earned my Bachelor's degree in Education from MU, my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction from William Woods University, and became a certified eMINTS teacher.  I have taught 5th grade for five years in Columbia, 4th grade at Southern Boone for 3 years, Kindergarten at SoBoCo for 11 years and preK beginning in 2018.  I love teaching and believe that learning has to be fun and engaging.  I strive to create a safe, caring environment that incorporates music, movement, creativity, and great literature as I teach the whole child to make at least one year’s growth.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and my husband and three kids.
