I am a graduate of Missouri Baptist University. I received my Bachelor of Education in May of 2009. I am currently a fourth grade teacher in a self contained classroom teaching all subject areas. I have also tutored in the areas of math, test preparation, organizational skills and reading comprehension. I love the environment in which I currently work. Our small class size allows me the opportunity to really understand each student's learning ability and style. Teaching has always been my passion and my goal is to instill the confidence in each student and help them reach their goals. It is my desire to help students want to learn, to realize the value in learning and to enjoy the process of learning as much as possible. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and walking/jogging.
