I grew up in Shawnee and am excited to be living and working around my family & friends. My husband is a high school vocal music teacher in a neighboring district, and we have been married for 17 years. My daughter Lillian is in 7th grade at Monticello Trails. We have 1 dog, Amber, who is a shepherd mix and is about 7 years old.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education & a master’s degree in Instructional Design and Technology from Emporia State University.  I have certifications in elementary, special education, ESL, & ASD, and I am currently working on my reading specialist and dyslexia certifications. This will be my 20^th year teaching in the DeSoto School District. I taught at Clear Creek Elementary for 10 years & this is my 10^th year at Horizon. Over those years, I have been special education teacher, 4th grade teacher, and a kindergarten teacher. I’m excited to be teaching Kindergarten again this year!
