I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! This is my 19th year in education, my 12th year as a certified classroom teacher and my first year at Spring Hill Elementary. For the last 7 years, I've taught at Stony Point South Elementary School in KCK. I grew up in Prairie Village, KS and attended Shawnee Mission East and Blue Valley North High schools. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Ottawa University in 2004 and taught first grade for four years in Shawnee Mission. Throughout my career, I have been a Special Education paraprofessional, an English as a Second Language aide, a Gifted summer school teacher, and a general education classroom teacher in fifth and first grades. I received my ESOL certification May 2018 and completed my Masters of Education through Baker University in May 2020.
I live in Spring Hill with my husband, Jeff, our daughter, Lily & our rescued house rabbits, Luna, Harry, Graham, and Mia. My favorite color is blue and my favorite children's book is The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, but I also love authors Kevin Henkes, E.B. White, Dr. Seuss, Patricia Polacco, Cynthia Rylant and many more! My family enjoys traveling, going to plays, concerts & movies. I also love gardening and cooking!
I look forward to getting to know your family as we grow and learn together this year!
