I'm so happy to be your child's 4th grade teacher!  I have taught 4th grade for 14 years and I absolutely think it is the best age child to teach.  

I received my Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Emporia State University and my Master's in Education degree from Baker University. After college I taught five years at Holy Trinity School in Lenexa, KS. I stayed home a few years with my babies and came back to work here at Good Shepherd School. I love being able to teach in my home parish. It's always exciting to see my students and their families at mass and other church functions.

My husband and I have two daughters, Grace and Claire. The girls keep us busy with soccer, swim, basketball, Irish dance, tumbling, golf, Hip-Hop, cheerleading, volleyball, and tennis. Luckily, this list has been narrowed over the years to just tennis, golf, and volleyball! We enjoy spending time together going to the beach, Disney World, a Royals game, or just at home watching an outdoor movie on the bigscreen, roasting marshmallows on the bonfire, or just kicking back at the pool.
