I have a bachelor's and a master's degree from the University of Kansas. My bachelor's degree is in science and biology, and my master's emphasis is in Young Adult Literature. I have been teaching at Good Shepherd since 2002.
I teach 7th- and 8th-grade Science, 3rd, 7th, and 8th Technology and STEM to K-8. I also teach vocabulary for 8th grade. I have 7th grade for homeroom.
I have 3 sons who went to Good Shepherd, St James Academy, and then to Pitt State and K State.
I enjoy being outdoors, hiking and walking, playing sports, and now watching them. I also enjoy reading, working in the yard, and going to the Lake of the Ozarks, where my parents live. Additionally, I love traveling to Colorado, Arizona, and, of course, I love teaching.
