I am a fun loving, dedicated, and very hard working teacher. My passion has always been in teaching. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Southeast Missouri State University in December 1998. I received a Minor in Early Childhood Education. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. I taught first grade for 12 years and during try first few years teaching, I received my Master's Degree from Webster University. My GPA upon graduation was a 4.0.

After teaching first grade for 12 years, I taught kindergarten for 9 years. My students were high achieving students. Data driven instruction and data analysis helped me determine how to reach students based on their needs. I am a single mom of a 14 year old son-Ashton.
